I tested debian-ports install on HP 9000 A180c (the last 32-bit server with
parisc).
Thanks for testing!
First I needed to find external SCSI CD-ROM with 512-byte block size support -
I managed but netboot images would have been much simpler (same goes for
sparc64).
Adrian mentioned to me, that netboot images are always in the d-i-tarball, e.g.:
http://ftp.ports.debian.org/debian-ports/pool-hppa/main/d/debian-installer/debian-installer-images_20190118_hppa.tar.gz
I haven't tried myself.
I tried that now that I found another (faster) disk to try install on.
The image boots fine, loads its components etc until it gets to choosing mirror.
I entered ftp.ports.debian.org and /devian-ports/, it did not find buster but I
selected unstable. It still fails, with the following in the log:

Any idea how to add another key there? apt-key and gpg seem to be missing from
the netinst miniroot.
