SPARC netboot installation stops in the middle of the process

[Piero Ottuzzi]

Hi there,

I just tried to install Ubuntu Hardy Heron using the netboot image in [1] from 03-Mar-2008 13:04 and the installation stops with an error about in the middle of the process.
In the installation syslog (attached) the relevant part is:
Mar 4 08:53:05 debootstrap: Errors were encountered while processing:

Mar 4 08:53:07 debootstrap: Errors were encountered while processing:

Manually creating the needed directory solves the problem.
