Bug#337316: debian-installer: hd-install for powerpc fails to find the installation ISO image on an hfsplus partition

[andy@wolfsinger.com]

Package: debian-installer
Severity: normal


I have it a MacOS 9.1 external hard drive attached to a 603ev/275
oldworld on hfsplus filesystem, and empty hfs filesystem on internal
hard drive (where I wish to install Debian). the "Scan hard drives for
an installer ISO image" does not find the 'debian-testing.iso' which is
the 250MB minimal installer image on the external drive. However it does
find this image when I copy it to the internal hard drive (where it
fails to allow me to repartition this drive).

The default mount order in /proc/filesystems is hfs before hfsplus, and
hfsplus always has an empty hfs filesystem alongside for older MacOS,
the installer will never find the image.

The installer appears to use /etc/filesystems which I have just
created with:
	hfsplus
	*

So perhaps this /etc/filesystems needs to be placed into the installer.
