Bug#68716: problems booting the install



> Package: boot-CDRom

Should have said "boot-floppies", even if you were booting from
CD-ROM.  Sorry for the unintuitive name.

Try out the new Potato boot-floppies, 2.2.x.  Slink is not supported
anymore.  Let us know if the problem persists, otherwise we shall
close this report.

No worries.  Generally problems like this are either kernel issues or
boot-loader issues.
