Has anyone apart from me built non-iso-8859-1 boot floppies recently? I found I needed to patch scripts/rootdisk/prototype/etc/init.d/rcS to get the font loaded, and I sent my patch to debian-boot. But there was no reaction. So I guess that either no one is interested in non-iso-8859-1 boot floppies, or else other people manage somehow without the patch. I'm curious to know which, so please let me know.
Also, has anyone ever built non-iso-8859-1 boot floppies for SPARC? It's hard for me to check this directly at the moment, since I no longer have a screen that I can plug into my SPARCstation 2, but I think that on SPARC (or any machine using a frame-buffer console) each virtual console can have a different font. So loading a font on tty0 doesn't help the other virtual consoles. Can anyone confirm this? Edmund
