Sorry to do a follow-up this late, but I had the opportunity to test a d-i daily build netinst CD (2006-12-15) on a DEC Personal Workstation 433au (ATAPI CD-ROM) and on a 600au (SCSI CD-ROM). Both booted the installer without setting any option. Maybe the reporters had boot_osflags variables set inside the SRM environment? These old values would have been overridden by the "-fl 1". BTW, I can install-test an AS4100 as well, did somebody try this lately? HTH, Uli -- Dipl. Inf.
