Thank you very much for your explanation. I got the message and I won't rant about that on the debian-boot again. I will try to be as polite as I can :-) Than again, where do you think should I report the issue of USB/kbd on SunBlade 150? Because it is still a problem and it will be until resolved for good. Please note that the keyboard was working correctly at least once. I've got a proof for it: http://ics.p.lodz.pl/~wiktorw/sparc_d-i/sarge-sparc-businesscard_20040511 .iso So this is silly: it was once in a perfect state and now it's broken. Why fix (break?) something when it works? Just a couple of thoughts.
