Please note the problems below are not well proven, and may be side
effects of other problems I worked through ealier in the install.
Installing unstable on hppa, serial console.
At the end of an install, base-config 1.04, it offers to remove some pkgs;
console-*, because I'm on serial console, I guess, and also base-config
itself. Is that expected?
Kind of makes it difficult to rerun base-config later, as an earlier screen
suggested.
Also, when I let it remove base-config I was screwed because init could
nolonger find termwrap.
If I don't remove base-config, I get the 'you may now log
in as root' screen, I hit return, and am back in to base-config.
Run through it again, and then I get a real login prompt.
In the first stage install I get nice |-+ chars to draw the box outlines
(serial console, remember), but in the second stage install I get nasty
'A' with dots above in place of '-' for horizontal lines. I set
TERM=vt100 via the kernel command line for both halves of the install.
I tried to run nano-tiny during first stage install, and it doesn't
work with TERM=vt100 or TERM=vt102. Does work with TERM=linux. When
it doesn't work, it says something like "S-Lang unknown error", and
leaves the terminal in raw mode (no echo, use ^J for <cr>).
