Package: debian-installer

Severity: wishlist
Hi!
It would be cool to have Debian boot CDs for the SGI O2. Currently
there are only netboot images available. I'm willing to invest some
misburned CD-Rs and some time for testing in this...
I already tried simply

For now it's probably enough to metion it in the release notes.
Jö.

Try booting with the option debian-installer/framebuffer=false .
That works with rootskel version 1.04 -- which currently can't be

As a workaround to the workaround try

That verison of glibc is not available on sparc because it does not
build.

Either rootskel needs to be fixed not to depend on an unavailable
version of glibc, or binutils needs

As bast I can tell, the patch in this bug does not change the behavior
of rootskel. I cannot apply patches without an explanation of the bug
that the patch fixes, and there is no explaination of why the changes in
this patch are useful.

Currently the boot option debian-installer/framebuffer does not work
as documented in the Instalation Manual, section 5.2.1. Debian
Installer Parameters (it does not work at all).
This issue was raised by Bugs #272552 and #272562. Geert

Here it is. It is a simple s,debconf/frontend,DEBIAN_FRONTEND, on
installer/doc/manual/en/boot-installer/parameters.xml. All other
occurences either turn out to be something like

If nobody opposes I will start to work on this.
My plan is to not automagically set any variables if the corresponding
debconf option is set in the database.

No, it's more like a framebuffer problem on a Sun Ultra 1.
Here is a patch which should make debian-installer/framebuffer work.
Of course it doesn't solve the real issue, but that should probably be
reassign to either bterm or the kernel.
And here comes the patch.

debconf/frontend doesn't have a default, so I'd be inclined to just
debconf-get it and see if it's non-empty. Testing the 'seen' flag seems
a bit weird since it hasn't in fact been shown to the user.

Ok, here is a patch doing just that.
I repeated the installation attempt with the new daily build, with the
same result as before.

Of course, I didn't read the manual carefully and missed the boot
option debian-installer/framebuffer. So I tried setting it to false,
but it didn't help.
The last thing I see before the cursor disappears on VC1 is:

I'm pretty sure this machine is sparc64, not sparc32. At least it
looks exactly like mine, ant that is definitely sparc64.
