d-i ia64 install report

2003-12-31 Thread Richard Hirst
This is using the daily build sarge-ia64-buisnesscard.iso, dated 30-DEC-2003 11:02. Installing sarge didn't work, because it doesn't have the newest debootstrap, so I used it to install sid. This is the first time I've tried d-i for a few weeks, and some things have broken in the meantime.
