Partitions:
df -T1 doesn't work in the installer shell, df alone shows only tmpfs
but we have:
1. sata 160 gb hd, detected as /dev/scsi/host0/lun0 resp. /dev/sda with
part1/sda1: primary, 40 gb ntfs

2. 256 mb usb stick detected as /dev/scsi/host2/lun0 resp. /dev/sdb with
part1/sdb1: 128 mb fat16 installer bootable image
Output of lspci and lspci -n:
lspci is not available in the installer shell (but the syslog shows, the
chipset/usb/ide have been loaded)

Comments/Problems:
Boot works, also the language, country and keyboard selection, but the
installer fails to find the iso after trying
/dev/scsi/host[02]/lun0/disc and /part[12356] resp part1 as well as
/dev/sda[12356] and /sdb1
it should have found it in /dev/scsi/host2/lun0/part1 resp /dev/sdb1,
but it fails.
dmesg and /var/log/syslog have entries:
FAT|KERNEL: codepage cp437 not found
FAT|KERNEL: unable to load NLS charset cp437
trying to mount /dev/sdb1 (or a floppy) by hand gives: invalid parameter
it seems, that the nls_cp437 module is missing in the installer package,
I cannot find it in /lib/modules/2.6.12-1.amd64-generic/kernel either
This is exactly the same error as reported already as bug 330093, but
unfortunately the reporter tried to use another installer (that could
find the iso, but not load it due to the version mismatch) and filed
another bug (344722) closing the previous, and the latter was closed
because of unsupported installer/image version mix. The original problem
never got addressed ...
Should be easy to include the proper cp437 module in the boot image ...

Please try the _daily_ images available from:
http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/
I'm closing this installation report as the issue has been resolved for the next
release of D-I. Feel free to file a new report after you tried the daily images.
Cheers,
