Well, I've made it to reboot and have gone through some basic

was unable to detect a CD ROM drive. Tried setting Apt to use a
filesystem instead of a CD, but unlike in the initial base install,
that won't work either. Says it can't find a mirror.
Obviously I don't have enough knowledge to know what I'm doing here.
Even though I've already done the base install, should I still use the
newer floppies?
No, the newer floppies only fix the root.bin image. When I tested it
with
3.0.23, the device files where missing on the root.bin, but they were
present on the installed system on the harddisk. Are you saying that
you do
not have the device files for you CD-Rom on the harddisk partition you
installed to? Do you have a /dev/cdrom entry in your fstab? Since you
did
not use the CD-Rom install method, maybe that entry was not created,
try
adding this to /etc/fstab:
/dev/cdrom /cdrom auto defaults,ro,user,noauto 0 0
Note: I seleced type auto instead of iso9660, change that back, if it
does
not work for you. Then run apt-cdrom or whatever you where doing again.
If that does not work, buy an Amiga ;-)
