Yes. It reads all the floppies and launches d-i as expected. I still have problems with d-i once it gets launched. Specifically: Booting off of floppy, there is no way to invoke "...PRIORITY=medium" mode. It just does the default. In default PRIORITY mode it always does: the dhcp thing -- which succeeds, but it give me a random IP address -- I need to be able to specify the IP address manually. I think some other folks have noted this and filed a bug report. it always tries to install yaboot (even though archdetect says it's an oldworld machine. I think something's broken in the yaboot installer) I've filed a bug report. In summary, there are still problems with d-i on oldworld machines, but the floppy boot stuff works just fine. Enjoy!
