If your NFS server is also powerpc, you could just debootstrap the partition
there :) I guess pure NFS support will have to wait for sarge+1. Now that d-i
is branched, patches are welcome though.

I just moved it to 2.6.9, but these kernel-source are not yet released, and
probably won't be until this WE or something, at which point the official
powerpc kernels will include it. With a bit of luck we will have real prep
support in d-i two weeks from now, depending how i am able to fix the
partman-prep horror story. (Added bunch of logs -> it worked, removed them ->
don't work anymore, altough it works on power4 chrp hardware :/)
