Package: installation-reports

I am trying to rescure a machine with 
/debian/dists/lenny/main/installer-i386/current/images/floppy:

boot.img 	27-Feb-2008 19:32 	1.4M
cd-drives.img 	27-Feb-2008 19:33 	1.4M
root.img 	27-Feb-2008 19:35 	1.4M

After loading modules from cd-image, and detecting disks, sym53c8xx and related modules
are installed. /var/log/syslog has records of the 2 scsi drives involved, as well as the expected
partitions. However trying to mount the partitions from a shell gives a `No such device' error.

It could be a kernel issue because I was never able to boot with 2.6.22. 2.6.20 could boot.

Other then that:
1.I seem to remember that there was an F1 Help while the installer asked for the root
image. Yet pressing F1 only gives [[[~', or a similar printing, at the boot prompt.
2. Won't drives.img better describe the contents and usage of cd-drives.img?

the same as that of an installed system.

Thank you for the rescue floppies.
