Re: iBook install: failing to see hard drive
Hi Roger,
I also have the combo drive, I'm sorry if I said something else.
And I have no trouble booting the machine with a cd in the drive,
which it will happily ignore unless I hold down 'c', as usual.
Is that what you meant by "can't be booted with a CD in the drive"?
I'm not sure I understand your suggestion about installing from the
network. I don't mind where I install from, but if I've booted off the
hard drive, I won't be able to install onto it, and booting off the debian
cd (or I imagine any cd with similar kernel and config) makes me unable to
see the hard drive, so I'd have a chicken and egg problem, no?
Many thanks,
Gremio
