Comments/Problems: The base system installs pretty smoothly. After
reboot there is a small issue when configuring APT source to point to
the same netinst CD used for installation. Neither /dev/cdrom or
/dev/hdc was recognized. I bypassed this part by selecting the 'manual
editing' option and went back to check the errata. I found a
description there about doing a 'dpkg-reconfigure discover1'. I did
that and tell it not to manage the CDROM. Then I rebooted and the
CDROM still can not be recognized when doing apt-cdrom add. I found I
have to become root and manually create the directory 'cdrom0' under
/media. Reboot again and this time CDROM is OK. I think this bug needs
to be fixed, otherwise an ordinary user will have a hard time to
figure out what went wrong.
