Two new failure sequences:
- boot from boot.img
- load root.img
- load drivers from cd-drivers.img (since I want to detect my CD-ROM,
this seems most reasonable)
- fail to detect CD-ROM (as in previous report)
- load drivers from net-drivers.img
- PCMCIA hardware starts; CD drive powers up
- refuse questions about network hardware
- request to detect CD-ROM again
- fail to detect CD-ROM
- (unknown steps; sorry)
- debian-installer fails to load vga256 framebuffer driver
- keeps dying and being restarted from init
- reboot, end install attempt.
Next attempt:
- boot from boot.img
- load root.img
- load drivers from net-drivers.img
- PCMCIA hardware starts; CD drive powers up
- refuse questions about network hardware
- load drivers from cd-drivers.img
- fail to detect CD-ROM
- reboot, end install attempt.
