Date: 20040315
Method: Boot and base system from CDROM
Machine: HP Proliant ML350 G3
Processor: P4 Xeon 2.8GHz
Memory: 2.5 GB
Root Device: Compaq raid /dev/cciss/disc0/part1
Root Size/partition table: 6GB

Config network: [O]

Detect hard drives: [O]

Comments/Problems:
Installation of the kernel fails with:
/usr/sbin/mkinitrd: constituent device /dev/cciss/disc0/part1 does not exist
Failed to create initrd image
/target/dev/cciss exists, and contains correct non-devfs device nodes (c0d0p1,...)
I guess devfs usage should be more consistent in the installer and the
target.
