Sorry, no little menu, but the screen saying my CD could not be mounted.
This is the loop:
Main Menu (Load Installer components)
HW detection
"Unable to load some modules"
"Your installation CD could not be mounted"
"Failed to find and mount a Debian CD-ROM"
Main Menu (Detect and mount CD-ROM)
Or, exactly the same except for the starting point:
Main Menu (Detect and mount CD-ROM)
HW detection
"Unable to load some modules"
"Your installation CD could not be mounted"
"Failed to find and mount a Debian CD-ROM"
Main Menu (Detect and mount CD-ROM)

I hope the description above makes it clear now.
Cold it be that the installer thinks this box got no floppy drive?
Admittedly, I first also tried to mount /dev/floppy0, and it took
me a while to find out that I should use /dev/floppy/0 (sorry,
no prior experience with this new stuff).
