#11 Debian Install runs out of ramdisk space

[Seth Cohn]

Speaking of the debian install, as far as I could tell a lot of the
problems with the debinst on the Linuxcare BBC 1.2 are because the
ramdisk is too small - on one of the consoles there are a whole lot of
overrun messages. I managed to get the debian installer working by
giving 'debinst ramdisk_size=8192' at the LILO prompt. Maybe this has
already been noted (I just subscribed to this list), but I didn't see
it mentioned in the errata or sourceforge bug tracking. It should just
be a tweak to the LILO setup on the boot image to make it work properly.
