Bug#250758: Bits and pieces from an amd64 install
Package: install
Severity: wishlist
Hi,
here are some bits and pieces I stumbled across while installing on amd64:
1. Anna tries to read /cdrom/dists/stable/Release even though its an
unstable cd (adding dummy links to cd).
2. Debotstrap has no script for unstable (renaming sid to sarge).
3. Partitioning scheme unknown for this architecture (amd64 should use
i386 DOS partitioning scheme).
4. Partman hangs on exit.
5. Partman fails to see partitions or do anything usefull. Even formating
and mounting a partition manually doesn't help skipping partman
(removing partman from cd).
6. debootstrap wants to install gcc-3.2-base (giving up and fixing it).
