Hi .*, I'm trying to install Debian on a AlphaStation 255 via bootp boot and network install. The installation crashes when "installing essential packages", exactly when "setting up sysvinit". Since it's sid (woody and potato don't seem to like the 255) it's sysvinit 2.83-2. After creating /dev/initctl, there is a dpkg warning: architecture 'alpha-none' not in remapping table and the system crashes, even the console on tty2 isn't usable any more. Anything I can do about it, i.e. setting the architecture manually before setting up sysvinit?
Thx! Ceya..bF.!. -- Bertram Fey, b_fey at web.de, bertram.fey at merlin-se.de
