root disk is the "root.bin" image, still compressed. Kernel, is the same.
Both are loaded up fine via PXE. IP address for PXE is delivered via
dhcp.

The installer loads up. dmesg looks good from the view in the second

notice.

[attempt to get this, by saving it to a partition then net booting a ram OS]

"Your keyboard has not been configured. Please seelect "Next" from the menu
to configure the keyboard.
[do that]
"There are "Linux native" and "Linux swap" partitions... [This drive is
already parititoned].
I initialize the swap partition, /dev/sda5
There are "Linux Native" .... Same deal.
At teh "Pre-2.2 Linux Kernel Compatibility" question I say "no".
I skip the scan for bad blocks.
"Are you sure?" Yes, I'm sure I want to initialize /dev/sda1.
mke2fs runs.
"Mount as the Root Filesystem?" Yes.
"You've mounted your root file system. You may initialize and mount
adtional filesystems, or you may go to install the operating system kernel
and the modules."
I choose the default option - Install OPerating System Kernel and Modules.
"Please select the medium you will use to install the system."
I choose network.
"You must first configure your network. Please do so now."
I set the hostname to "debian"
I choose eth0 [which, when I net boot a small /dev/ram0 based version of
debian, eth0 works fine]
In the second vty, I verify that eth0 is not configured with an IP address.
I let the installer configure for dhcp; it immediately fails. The DHCP
server that was used to PXE boot this host, did not see a broadcast request
for DHCP at all.

I manually configure the interface. I'm not too upset about DHCP not
working; this install method is for interactice installs anyways. Annoying,
but not the end of the world. I configure 192.168.0.151, 255.255.255.0, and
192.168.0.1 - the same values DHCP would have assigned, had it seen a
request.
I leave the domain field blank.
I configure the name servers to point to a valid name server on the same
network.
"Fetching installation files over the netowrk"
images-1.44/rescue.bin
drivers.tgz
I let it choose the default http locations for this test. As I get closer
to having this work I'll use a proper local mirror that I replicate
into each location where I set up install servers.
images-1.44/rescue.bin fetches from debian/dists/potato/main/disks-i386/current/.
drivers.tgz fetches.
Now it gets interesting.
