Comments/Problems:
First, the installation manual talks about "boot net:dhcp", but my
machine tries to boot via ARP if I use that. Please mention "boot
net:bootp" as an alternative.
When I boot with any of the four boot commands, bogl somewhat locks up
the display. If I change to another VC, the cursor will reappear, but
as soon as I type one character, the cursor disappears, and the
character is not shown. When I switch to another VC and back, the
cursor is back, and the character displayed, as it should be. I can
blindly type "ls<enter>", the output appears after switchung to
another VC and back.
The error message of bogl is: "bogl: mmapping /dev/fb0: No such file
or directory". /dev/fb0 does not exist, but /dev/fb/0 does.
Symlinking /dev/fb0 to /dev/fb/0 didn't help.
Init constantly respawns the installation system, and I didn't find
out how to stop it. I edited /etc/inittab and replaced
/sbin/debian-installer with /bin/sh and did kill -HUP 1, but that only
got me a shell in addition to the constantly respawning bogl on vc1.
For commandline c) I looked at /proc/cmdline, the contents is indeed
"hurz debconf/frontend=newt".
