Bug#248099: additional debug information
Iam trying to install sarge from an usb-stick:
for this report i used the latest boot.img.gz from
http://people.debian.org/~joeyh/d-i/images/2004-05-11/hd-media/2.6/
and the latest netinst.iso from
http://cdimage.debian.org/pub/cdimage-testing/sarge_d-i/i386/20040511/

thoughts:
the computer i try to install has no cd-rom and no floppy-drive.
no wonder that the installer produces this message:
May 12 10:17:30 (none) user.notice base-installer: warning: failed to bind
mount /target/cdrom/
why does it try to bind a cdrom - when there is none?
the installation process from an usb-stick shouldn't depend on a cd-rom-drive
because of that it is confusing that the base installer tries to mount
such device at all.
Of course it needs to mount the iso but that should not be called cdrom.
hope i didn´t get anything wrong - and i hope that it helps
