I'm reassigning this to makedev, as it's ultimatly the default set of devices it puts in /dev/ that is used by the installer, and that stops as hda20. I note that bug #146611 has been open for years and tagged wontfix regarding the same problem. Perhaps having another report of this, on another architecture will change Bdale's mind. Bdale: If you're not going to fix this, please reassign it back to d-i so we can put in some nasty hack that checks the target system's fstab and tries to create any missing /dev/ entries.. Perhaps such a hack would be a good idea in general. -- see shy jo
