Comments/Problems:
Everything went fine until it tried to detect the hard drives. It could
not find my installed hard drive. The hard drive shows up on the BIOS
and in /sys/block/hda after the install disk is booted. The drive is
installed as the master on the ide0 controller. The CD is the master
on ide1.
I was able to boot up in an older version of Knoppix (with a 2.4 kernel)
and partition, format, and mount the drive. I was able to partition the
disk and write to it using dd from the Debian installer command line, but
I could not format it. When I tried to format the disk from the installer
command line, I got a floating point exception.
