Comments/Problems:

The whole installation process goes very smoothly, much nicer than r2. If I don't use linux26,
the installation even picks up my Tulip PCMCIA card. Great! And with linux26 I can still get it
easily by added the tulip module.

The problem appears to be incorrect/incomplete installation of grub. Lilo didn't work any better.
Installing onto a new disk, I put grub in the MBR (same when I tried with Lilo). However, on reboot,
BIOS gives error I9990305, which means no bootable device found. I am using the newest BIOS from IBM,
IHET47WW from 9/11/99. The same BIOS lets me run Debian/Lilo/2.20 kernel, so I doubt it is the BIOS.
I have tried various partitioning schemes, including the default and workstation "guided" ones provided.
I also tried one with a small boot partition (8.2MB at the beginning of the disk). All schemes fail
in the same way. Every step of the installation works until the last "moment-of-truth" reboot.

We are closing this installation report for one of the following
reasons:
- it was reported with a pre-lenny version of Debian
  Installer.
- indications in the installation report give the feeling that
  the reported problem waslying in another software, unrelated to
  D-I, which we can't easily identify.
- indications in the installation report suggest that it may have been
  fixed in a more recent version of a D-I component
- it was successful and we forgot closing it..:-)
- it has no information we consider useful


The D-I team is currently in the process of cleaning out the old spool
of installation reports that haven't bene processed yet. 

In case you think that the problem you reported has chances to be
still present, please reiterate your installation test with
a more recent image of D-I, if you're in position of doing this.

You'll find daily builds at
http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer. We recommend you choose
the netboot image, in the "daily builds section", then choose to
install "squeeze" when prompted.

If some problems are found, please report them with a new bug sent
against installation-reports.

Many thanks for your understanding and your help improving Debian,
past and present.
