Comments/Problems:
Config network failed to setup via DHCP, since my DHCP server was not
configured for this machine. I tried manual setup, entered all information,
but the installer tried to use DHCP again, which failed again. So I came back
to manual setup, entered all information, but the installer used DHCP...
After I setup my DHCP server to give out an IP for this host, the installer
accepted my manual setup.
I have an IDE and a SCSI harddisk in my system. I wiped out the SCSI disk and
installed Debian there. When the boot loader was installed, it wrote the
boot block on the IDE disk, not giving me any chance to write to the SCSI disk
instead. Maybe this is the right thing, the machine boots, since it tried to
boot from IDE first, but since Debian is installed on the SCSI disk, it would
be nice to have the option to install grub on the SCSI disk, in case I remove
the IDE disk or change the boot order. I have never used grub before, I do not
see a config file, how do I tell grub now to write the MBR to sda?
I can not mount the CD-Rom. mount /cdrom can not find /cdrom. /media/cdrom
does not work either, /media/cdrom0 say the mount point does not exist.
/media/cdrom is a link to cdrom0, but this does not exist, which is what
gnome tells me when I try to mount the CD-Rom from gnome.
Other than that, the install worked perfectly.

We are closing this installation report for one of the following
reasons:
- it was reported with a pre-lenny version of Debian
Installer.
- indications in the installation report give the feeling that
the reported problem waslying in another software, unrelated to
D-I, which we can't easily identify.
- indications in the installation report suggest that it may have been
fixed in a more recent version of a D-I component
- it was successful and we forgot closing it..:-)
- it has no information we consider useful
The D-I team is currently in the process of cleaning out the old spool
of installation reports that haven't bene processed yet.
In case you think that the problem you reported has chances to be
still present, please reiterate your installation test with
a more recent image of D-I, if you're in position of doing this.
You'll find daily builds at
http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer. We recommend you choose
the netboot image, in the "daily builds section", then choose to
install "squeeze" when prompted.
If some problems are found, please report them with a new bug sent
against installation-reports.
Many thanks for your understanding and your help improving Debian,
past and present.
