Please consider including the base-installer 1.01 and the nobootloader 0.17
.udebs i uploaded today. The 1.01 base-installer include a nicer way to handle
powerpc kernels with builtin initrd, and also makes sure that kernel upgraded
after the install will be functional.
The nobootloader change include giving exacter booting instructions for the
powerpc/chrp_pegasos (a thing which could be cloned for other arches without
boot loader but with known boot procedures), as well as add the logic for the
generic case. Ideally, a string change would be needed to tell the user about
the partition in which to find the kernel in the generic case, but this can
wait for after the beta5/rc1 release, but it would look nicer. The string
change is not a sever one though, just adding "on partition ${BOOT}" in the
boot instruction to know where the kernel is.
Friendly,
