Comments/Problems:
Needed to set 'ramdisk_size=8192 debian-installer/framebuffer=false'
boot parameters.
CD-ROM drive could not be detected because of modprobe not being able
to load modules for sparc64 architecture. As a
workaround I used mini-iso image for pure network install :)
While creating filesystem on a partition I didn't have xfs filesystem
as a choice. But I noticed the xfsprogs package (at
least mkfs.xfs).
While testing daily build I noticed error while partitionig, to many
primary partitions or something. Partman could only create one root
partition of about 750 MB, this doesn't happen with Beta 4 of Debian
Installer. Problem seems to disappear after I accept this layout to be
written and start d-i again and reformatting the drive by creating
newe partition table.
Install logs and other status info is available
in /var/log/debian-installer/.
