BTW, now that 518807 is fixed, is there a reason why
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=518808
(Documentation about booting from DOS)
is still not fixed?
In my case booting from DOS or anything else is not necessary. The only requirement I have is to override the installer's insistence on mounting a CD and using it as the source for the install. Once an image or copy is resident on the main drive the CD becomes irrelevant. How can I tell the installer where to look for the installation info?
With faint hope,
