hi folks, first of all i would like to say that the new installer really looks nice :)
i am trying to get sarge installed on sparc64 (e250,e450) via netboot. i used this d-i image: http://people.debian.org/~jbailey/d-i/sparc/daily/sparc64/netboot/boot.img the first thing i was missing was ping when trying to guess which nic interface is connected to what subnet. no problem with one nic and the box under your table. big problem with 9 nics, und "just" console connection :) i had some problems with partitioning (didnt manage to get rid of some faulty sundisklabels with parted and whatever runs on [partition disk]. its also really confusing to have the items [partition disk] and [partition a harddrive] ;) fdisk is in my opinion The tool for fast, destructive disklabel/partition deleting and creation. i miss this one. dd and /dev/zero helped me with the disklabel problem. next step i thought. hey, its capable of lvm at install :) fine, lets do it. unortunatly there seems to be everything but the lvm modules themselfes. also i couldnt figure out under which menupoint aditional moduleloading is available. i thought i could find it at [download installer comp] or [load installer comp]. but had no luck, just ppp and some other stuff. thats it for now bye folks -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
