You are right, it will not be necessary to have a 64bit d-i to install a ppc64 userland. A 32bit d-i in combination with a 64bit kernel and some option to select 'ppc64' as the installation architecture will probably be the easier solution. > Please try instead to work on base-installer/debootstrap to be able to install > your pure-powerpc64 stuff from a 32bit d-i userland running on a 64bit powerpc > kernel as currently in debian. I will do that. Actually 'debootstrap' already works quite well for ppc64 installations. I will try find a patch that makes 'base-installer' aware of ppc64, so that the 32bit powerpc d-i in combination with a 64bit kernel can be used to install a ppc64 userland.
