Re: Re: Installing Debian sarge (beta4) on Cobalt

["El Bailador" <pepillo@gmx.de>]

Thanks a lot, but it still doesn't work for me.
First I tried normal installation using the new files dated 2004/07/14.
I found the first terminal screen scrambled ("choose language" etc.), but
moving the cursor up and down makes the options readable. The following
screens are fine. But the partitioner problem persists.
Of course I don't want to wait until SSH support is implemented, so I tried
to mount the partitions by hand as described.
I added the kernel parameter DEBCONF_PRIORITY=low and selected
"Execute a shell" before "Partition disks".
I entered all the lines without problems:

mkswap /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part2
swapon /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part2
mkdir -p /target
mkfs.ext3 /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part3
mount /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part3 /target
mkdir -p /target/boot
mkfs.ext2 -r 0  /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1
mount /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1 /target/boot
mkdir -p /target/home
mkfs.ext3 /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part4
mount /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part4 /target/home
exit

After that I continued installation with "Install base system".
But the mount points are not recognized, the partitioner starts up and
just offers the same procedure as already known.
What's wrong?
Thanks!
