Hi, I found why netboot images were crashing with "bus error". It comes from a wrong unifont.bgf generated by bdftobogl. Bugreport filed against libbogl-dev. debian-boot was added to x-debbugs-cc, but it seems that didn't work. bug #232720
And I also found why name resolution was not working. Someone should add EXTRALIBS line in sparc/cdrom.cfg and sparc/netboot.cfg like i386/cdrom.cfg this line adds libresolv and libnss_dns and after that I got name resolution. [ BTW, I just found that jbailey already found it since friday, I really need to read more carefully next time :) ] Anyway, if you don't apply his config, please add this line. Jeff, if you want to autobuild working netboot image, you should apply this patch. But it maybe breaks cdrom builds ... Once these bugs are resolved, and fdisk-udeb, new kbd-chooser and partionner are added to the archive, we will have a good d-i for sparc ! -- Thomas Poindessous
