First of all, you are replying to a thread concerning an ancient and already closed bug report. This is very confusing (as nobody will have the old mails anymore, so we're missing the context) and does not help in getting responses.
Please file a _new_ installation report yourself, including correct info about your hardware and exactly which installation images you are using. Filing and following up to an installation report in the BTS also means that the context of consecutive mails remains preserved. Finally, please do not use top posting [1]!

The way netinst and full CD images are created means that they are identical where it comes to the basic installation functionality. Please describe in detail where and how a netinst install fails and send us the syslog from both types of installation (gzipped!). Include those in your installation report so we can compare them. > The bad thing here.. is ... although I made all the things according to > all Sun manuals to do a boot from Harddisk after installation, I > couldn't achieve.

On my Ultra10 it just works. It sounds like an error in the openprom config. Cheers, FJP -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
