Comments/Problems:
With Sarge, i cannot access to installer. Etch solve this problem for
my computer.
With Etch, i cannot choose external FW disc to install Debian. I try
to reproduce USB installation but without success. I cannot install
YABOOT. I tried to more three times and differents options of
partitions (manually with one part of disc, automatic with one part
of disc and automatic with all disc).
