1.
Box has two CDROM drives, the second cdrom drive is a virtual SCSI drive, when detection for the cdrom the installer after it checks for the correct cdrom in the IDE drive it doesn't check the SCSI cdrom /dev/sr0.  Manually mounting the SCSI cdrom in /cdrom fixes this problem.


2.
Errored out w/ debootstrap error unable to determine codename for release.

Fixed by manually running: debootstrap --arch amd64 etch /target http://http.us.debian.org/debian

Then I proceeded to download other packages needed (e.g. kernel, bootloader etc)

3. Complained that it would not run because the previous step was not done, but the previous step complained because it was unable to determine a codename for release.

basically I was unable to test this step.  Manually installed bootloader.

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.
