Comments/Problems:
The CD drive appears to not have been found with either beta3 or daily
(20060905) netinstall images. The failure message was:
"Disk boot failure, insert system disk and press return."
The md5sum for the daily image is good. Using an old beta1 image, the
CD drive was detected and showed the initial boot screen.
The CD drive is on hdc: LITE-ON COMBO LTC-48161H, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive
and is using the IDE controller. The motherboard (A7V600) does have
SATA capability but is not used currently. I don't know if there is a
complete separation of SATA and IDE on the motherboard.
I would be willing to try http://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/Modify
if I knew what I should try to change.
