Title:
  omap netboot partition too small for flash-kernel backup procedure

Status in “debian-installer” package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in “debian-installer” source package in Precise:
  New

Bug description:
  Undecided if this should be fixed in flash-kernel-installer to be less
  broken when failing to create backups, or debian-installer to make the
  SD partition a bit (or a lot) larger.  Probably d-i's fault, as our
  CD/preinstall images use a 72MB SD boot partition, and d-i appears to
  use something closer to 32MB.

  At any rate, current precise on omap3 fails like so, and it's only a
  matter of time before the omap4 initrd gets large enough to cause the
  same issue, I suspect:
