Comments/Problems:
Now that http://bugs.debian.org/562594 is fixed, I was able to
continue the installation and it all went fine until the end.
However, after finishing the installation machine fails to boot with
messages:
SUNW,Sun-Blade-1000 (2 X UltraSPARC-III) , No Keyboard
Copyright 1998-2004 Sun Microsystems, Inc. All rights reserved.
OpenBoot 4.16.4, 2048 MB memory installed, Serial #51831895.
Ethernet address 0:3:ba:16:e4:57, Host ID: 8316e457.
Rebooting with command: boot
Boot device: disk File and args:
ERROR: Last Trap: Fast Data Access MMU Miss
Error -256
{0} ok
I thought it was some kind of random hardware quirk, so I tried
reinstalling a few times, but always got the same result, even if I
was zero-filling the first 200M of the hard drive before partitioning.
I then tried Lenny netinst CD (debian-503-sparc-netinst.iso), and it
worked without problems, so it must be some regression in the recent
CD images. At this point I have no clue what might be causing it, as
both Lenny and the current CD builds install the same SILO version and
partitions are set up identically (~100MB ext2 /boot partition is set
up to hold the boot files in both cases). I'm going to ask on
debian-sparc whether anyone can reproduce it.
Another minor detail: serial console output in daily builds is
black-and-white, while Lenny installer was showing up in color (at
least, red/blue where appropriate).
