Bug#366177: [amd64] Tyan S2877 installation-report

[Karl Schmidt <karl@xtronics.com>]

I noticed it - turned out /proc was not created.

It is fixed in the version with dates of May 13, 06

(I renamed this iso to debian-testing-amd64-netinst-5-13-06.iso

Why not use such a naming system so people can see which build the iso was 
based on? How valuable are install bug reports if there is no reference to 
which install was run?)

What isn't fixed is the same problem as is in 
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=367402

I need to find a way to run tests on the drive interface while booted from the 
install CDROM to isolate the problem.
