Bug#240937: installation-reports: beta3 i386 When no hard drive present, partitioning menus make no sense
Package: installation-reports
Version: Debian Installer Beta 3
Severity: minor
Dell Dimension X400 - installed with no IDE hard drive in the box,
booted from floppies boot.img and root.img - came up fine. When
reached the partitioning menu, I realized I had not put a HD in the
machine at all - the only media devices were cdrom and floppy.
The Partition menu was weird and circular in this case, rather than
pointing out there was not any device acceptable to recevie the
installation.
Keep up the good work - this installer looks GREAT! Once I put an
actual hard drive in the system, it came up perfectly - you guys
rock!
