Comments/Problems:
When I got the very end of the install and rebooted into the base
system everything seemed fine. But already it wasn't. I continued
and when I got to the apt-based installation then I kept receiving
the CDROM wasn't detected (sorry, can't remember exact message) And
indeed if I tried to manually mount it then it failed. It seemed that
'ide-generic' had not been loaded because it wasn't in /etc/modules. I
modprobe'd it and added it and then reran the step and it was fine.
Install logs and other status info is available in /var/log/debian-installer/.
Okay, but I'm not attaching them - syslog is a bit big :-) I'll
keep the files, so if you want them, or more info, then just ask.
Alexis
