Hi Henk, I don't think the .pkg file is of any use. It didn't seem to change anything for me.
I believe I've had the same result when I used the netboot images ( http://d-i.debian.org/daily-images/armel/daily/iop32x/netboot/ss4000e/) I then tried with netconsole images and it worked fine: http://d-i.debian.org/daily-images/armel/daily/iop32x/network-console/ss4000e/ p.s. I didn't check your redboot commands, mine were a bit different: I didn't do any unlocking or creating. Good luck!
