Debian-installer-version: Sarge RC1 20040806 netinstall CD for SPARC
from
http://cdimage.debian.org/pub/cdimage-testing/sarge_d-i/sparc/rc1/sarge-sparc-netinst.iso
uname -a: N/A, didn't get that far
Date: 20040808, 10pm CST
Method: Burned the iso, booted with "boot cdrom" command to OpenBoot,
kernel panic while loading installer kernel (see below for details)
Machine: Sun Blade 100 workstation (sun4u/sparc64)
Processor: 500MHz UltraSPARC-IIe
Memory: 512MB (4x128MB)
Root Device: I didn't get far enough to choose one, but there are 2
IDE drives in the system. c0t0d0 is a Seagate ST315310A 15.3GB IDE
drive; c0t2d0 is a Quantum Fireball AS40.0 40GB IDE drive (this is the
one I would have chosen).
Root Size/partition table: N/A, didn't get that far
Output of lspci: N/A, didn't get that far

Comments/Problems:
Burnt CD (md5sums checked out), booted it with OpenBoot "boot cdrom".
Pressed "Enter" for standard install. Installer starts booting
kernel, but then has kernel panic. I got farther along in the install
process using the tftp boot image than I did with this netinstall CD,
so other installation reports for this machine will follow.
Incidentally, when using a serial console with Minicom, the
installer's SILO seemed unable to see my keyboard (US standard PS/2
attached to x86 machine running Debian unstable). After a few seconds
it would boot the install kernel anyway, but this would prevent me
from giving any boot arguments (or even typing "help") in this way. I
don't know whether this is considered a but or just obnoxious, but I
thought I should mention it.
Output of installer process captured via serial console:
Sun Blade 100 (UltraSPARC-IIe), No Keyboard
OpenBoot 4.0, 512 MB memory installed, Serial #XXXXXXXX.

Welcome to Debian GNU/Linux sarge!
This is a Debian installation CDROM, built on 20040806.
Keep it once you have installed your system, as you can boot from it
to repair the system on your hard disk if that ever becomes necessary.
WARNING: You should completely back up all of your hard disks before
proceeding. The installation procedure can completely and irreversibly
erase them! If you haven't made backups yet, remove the rescue CD from
the drive and press L1-A to get back to the OpenBoot prompt.
Debian GNU/Linux comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY, to the extent permitted
by applicable law.
