Comments/Problems:
I had initial problems with the right tftpd server. While atftpd
is known to work in most scenarios, it produced timeouts in combination
with the HP hardware. tftpd-hpa worked fine.
Installation went till the point of choosing the kernel - which
doesn't seem to depend on initrd-tools, so the kernel installation
failed and I had to reinstall with a manual installation of the
missing package. Additionally kernel-img.conf didn't contain
the do_initrd=yes string.
After this, the installation went fine till reboot. Following
hardware detection crashed the machine with loading the de4x5
module which was automatically disabled for the next reboot.
While installing with a serial console, it would be fine to have
the matching inittab line enabled, so that I'm able to use
the machine later on.
Maybe these things are fixed in SVN. Now I've a build system
to create newer images ;-)
