Comments/Problems:
It looks like the CD is mounted with no RR extensions or something similar.
The problem is that the installer cannot find the Release file. I see in
virtual console #4 that grep is looking at /cdrom/dists/stable/Release. But
in the shell, if I go to /cdrom/dists and I ls -l, the files "stable"
"testing" and "unstable" are not symlinks to sarge, but just empty plain
files. Mounting this CD from a working Linux system shows the proper layout,
but not on a PC during the install process.
