I said this before, but the entire premise of this debian-installer
module is flawed. We do not want ad-hod stuff like this is
debian-installer:
A driver floppy is a ext2 floppy with one file modules.tgz. The
content of modules.tgz is unpackaged in the installation system root
directory.
log "Copying modules.tgz from ext2 modules disk... "
gunzip -c /mnt/modules.tgz | tar xf - $module.o
umount /mnt
Instead, another modules udeb should be created, which can be depended on
by disk-detect or something, and loaded with a standard debian-installer
retriever. We also need a proper floppy-based retriever.
echo "Please insert the modules disk and press Enter to continue, or type"
echo -n "\`q' to skip loading PCMCIA drivers: "
read input
mounted=0
if [ "$input" = "q" ]
then
break
fi
load_floppy_driver
mount -t ext2 $floppydev /mnt
if [ "$?" = "0" ]
then
if [ -f /mnt/pcmcia.tgz ]
This part is beyond broken, it does not even use debconf for prompting!
