Bug#269027: ADDENDUM: installation does not switch to installation disk as it claims, but tries to reboot from cdrom
I forgot to mention that the installation process, when complete, says
that it will reboot on the newly installed disk:
lqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqu [!!] Finish the installation tqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqk
lx Installation complete x
xx Installation is complete, so it is time to boot into your new Debian x
xx system. Make sure to remove the installation media (CD-ROM, x
xx floppies), so that your system boots from the disk to which Debian x
xx was installed. x
xx x
mx <Go Back> <Continue> x
x x

But infact the system attempts to reboot from the cdrom drive instead. Forcing
a boot from the intended disk at the console prompt is a workaround.
I wonder if this has anything to do with the fact that the system's bootdef_dev
console variable is set to a disk *other* than the new installation disk, and
the installer is unwilling to change the setting.
