The problem is that there are NO drives (sdx) under dev and I don't know how to get the system to recognize any media (also no usb devices etc.). $ROOT gives /dev/sda1 which should be correct. If I put a newer business-card iso image on the beta2 hd-media, I'm not able to install because the installer does not recognize the codename of the distribution. If I'm trying a daily build for the hd-media, I was yet unlucky as these immediately rebooted after unpacking the kernel. Thank you! Michael
