Method:=20
Since direct booting from the cd does not work (cf. #220048),
I used bootfloppy-image, floppy-image and loaded the cd_drivers-image.
The packages were fetched from the CD.
I have a network card, but it was not connected to anything during
installation.

Base System Installation Checklist:
Initial boot worked: [O]
It would be great if besides floppy-image.img and an USB stick, a
CD-ROM would be directly supported. I had to prepare three floppies
to install from CD-ROM which seems unnecessary to me.
Configure network HW: [O]
Config network: [E]
Same DHCP problem as in #220014. DHCP was attempted, then a
confusing error message appeared. DHCP should be attempted only once
(see below); if it fails, then the user should be presented a note
saying that the network must be configured manually, not just a
confusing "an error occurred". Besides the failing DHCP breaks the
automatic installation: presenting the main menu is really not
necessary here.
Detect CD: [O] DHCP
After this step, DHCP was reattempted. This happened quite often and
is very annoying. I marked the steps where this occurred with
"DHCP". If DHCP did not work once, then please forget about it.
Load installer modules: [O] DHCP
Detect hard drives: [O]
Partition hard drives: [O]
Create file systems: [O] DHCP
Mount partitions: [O] DHCP
Install base system: [O] DHCP
Install boot loader: [O] DHCP
Reboot: [O]
[O] =3D OK, [E] =3D Error (please elaborate below), [ ] =3D didn't try it
Comments/Problems:
I noticed that the buttons in some dialogs have the wrong order. E. g.
in the "configure and mount partitions" confirmation there are three
buttons (Yes, No, Back). If I'm at the righmost button and press
Cursor-Right, I land at the leftmost button. OTOH, I can press
Cursor-Left until I'm at the middle button, but cannot get to the
leftmost one by pressing Cursor-Left. Similar problem with error
messages with just two buttons (Cursor-Left goes right and vice
versa).
I did not install GRUB since I already have one (I installed sarge on
a free partition but don't want to destroy my "actual" installed sid).
I cannot boot the new partition (hda1) with my current grub, the
kernel always panics with "cannot mount root device 03:01". Neither
root=3D/dev/hda1 nor root=3D/dev/discs/disc0/part1 works.=20
Have a nice day!

This bug is surely fixed in the latest version of netcfg that's in
unstable/sarge.
