It maybe too early, we have a kernel now which should be able to be mibootable, but not yet the full debian-installer stuff. I will make a new kernel build this afternoon, maybe you can try this one out, and see if you can boot it. I hope once this kernel reaches the archives, we can try building d-i images also or something such, or you could do them by hand. I don't really know how miboot works, so i can't do it myself. Stay tuned for more news on this. Friendly, Sven Luther
