Hi!
This did it! Thanks very much!
I had to change "vmlinuz" into "//kernels/vmlinuz-2.4.27-amiga", too.
But that was no problem - I know the CD's directories in and out, since
my search for root.bin ;-). Omitting the dots was no further problem,
but thanks you mentioned it.
The Installer does now start properly. Users should avoid having
FASTKICK (ROM -> 32-bit-RAM) installed. Unfortunately my Fusion40
does this automatically, as long as I don't disable it for every
particular boot-up. No real problem there, but it's so awfully slow
compared to having FASTKICK. On the other hand debian-installer needs
the MMU itself - seems there's no way around it.
At the moment I'm trying to tell the installer, that I've got a
Nexus-SCSI controller, which seems to me is the next obstacle on the
way. I'll be browsing the FAQs and compatibility lists for this issue.
By the way... I just used UAE to check the CD. Could have been trouble
with CD-Rs and my old quad-speed-drive.
Best Regards,
Tobias

I downloaded the latest NetInstall ISO

and tried to install debian on my Amiga... But I can't even start the
installer, because it doesn't find the size of the ram-disk. This may be
related to the fact, that there ist no "root.bin" throughout the whole CD.
I made a Screenshot for you to see the error message:
Sorry, StartInstall should probably say ../../cdrom/initrd.gz. If that's
incorrect, please let me know.
Nah, that's not a valid AmigaOS path. `/' means `one up' (and `:' means
`root'), so it should be:
//cdrom/initrd.gz
PS: I cross-chrecked this with UAE, but the problem persists.
UAE doesn't support linux. :-(
You mean: (without extra patches) UAE doesn't support emulating the MMU?
