The updated base-installer package is now on the FTP servers. Could
someone perform another test installation and verify that the kernel
is now installed properly without any manual work.
The partman-ext3 problem still needs to be worked around manually
but we can resolve that later with a dedicated sparc64 installation
mirror which will contain a patched version of partman-ext3.
I assume that we're still missing the part in debian-installer which
runs silo-installer to install silo. I haven't checked yet where
that happens, it's the next item on my TODO list. Once I have figure
that out, I will add sparc64 support to that d-i component.
