Comments/Problems:
Booted from CD, selected the italian language and keyboard and then there was a problem
about detecting CD. (It is a SCSI CD.)
I selected to 'perform manual CD-ROM configuration?', then 'select from list', then I got
a list of device name. I did try both 'cdrom' and 'none' without being lucky. I then
went gack to the original message screen (perform manual CD-ROM configuration?) but
every time I press 'no' it keep reasking the question. Selecting Yes, and then No at
the next question got me to the main menu.
I then selected 'load installer modules' from main menu, and d-i found a (correct) list of
modules needed for this hardware. It said that the list could be loaded and then it
showed me again the message about the probing of CDROM.
summary: cannot mount cdrom, cannot load installer modules :-(
Bye,
Giuseppe
