Comments/Problems:

Ok, this little machine was a tough test for D-I. Let's see, it has
only one pcmcia socket and I made the network installation with two
pcmcia cards: one pcmcia cdrom reader (model Sony PCGA-CD51) and an
orinoco pcmcia card, so I began the installation without knowing what
to expect. Here's the description of the process:

- D-I started in "low memory mode", due to the system's 64MB of RAM.
- It didn't detect the pcmcia cdrom, while it was working and detected
as "hde" by the kernel. So I chosed "none" in the cdrom module list
and then "/dev/hde" and evrything went fine.
- No network, off course. However, D-I detected the firewire port and
tried to configure it, so I can say the kernel recognized the firewire
port just fine.
- In order to have network access, I had to switch to tty2, and umount
the cdrom, take off the cd-rom, put on the nic and configure the nic
manually. This process back and forth as needed (when I needed network
connection or when D-I complained about the cd-rom).
- After debootstrap, everything went fine.

All in all, a nice installation. I thought I was going to have some
problems, because of the lack of pcmcia sockets, but everything went
fine. Thanks to the D-I team.

Cheers,

Dario.-

Hi Dario,

Thanks for the report. Nice to see a bit of creative use of the installer 
and seeing that your approach actually works :-)

That means that the kernel/udev does not create a link in /dev/cdroms for 
the device as that is what the installer searches for.
See the /var/lib/dpkg/info/cdrom-detect.postinst script and the 
list-devices script (from di-utils) for what the installer does here.

It would be nice if you could follow up on this with kernel/udev 
developers. It should probably be possible to recognize the device as a 
CDROM drive.

Closing your report as the installation was successful.

Cheers,
FJP
