Comments/Problems:
The install booted up fine, selecting language, keyboard etc worked fine.
But then the install detected hardware which didn't give any errors. When
it came to "Detect and mount CD-ROM" the install reported that it couldn't
mount the installation CD-ROM. Retrying does not mount the CD-ROM.
The CD that's in the drive is the one that I used to boot up with; Debian
Installer pre-rc2 mentioned above.
I'm stumped on what to do.
Thanks!
