Thank you for replying Rick,in fact, install works fine directly to compact flash with installer (it is installed as an IDE disk). My need was simply to tell installer to prepare also a second disk. This could also happen to get better performances and use a separate disk for swap or /home. Doing so at reboot is not a problem so far but doing it with installer would be great.
Many thank's for your help, Patrick. Rick Thomas wrote:
How about this:Install to the hard disk, then after the first reboot, run a script that copies the root partition to the compact flash and does the necessary magic to make it boot from the flash. You can either leave the root partition on the hard disk as an emergency backup, or reformat it as additional swap space after rebooting from the flash.It's complicated, but -- would that work? I suspect it could be completely automated if you need it to be.Rick On Mar 22, 2006, at 1:37 PM, Frans Pop wrote:On Wednesday 22 March 2006 18:17, Patrick Nomblot wrote:I 'm really sorry to disturb you but I have been looking for a solution to use debian installer and pressed to install debian sarge on an i386 target having two IDE target disks. I get success doing a sarge or etch preseed install on my target system but would need to put swap on a second ide disk (as the first one is in fact a compact flash disk), I do not found any example doing so with preseed, is there any possibility to do so ?.That is currently not supported. Sorry. Cheers, FJP
