Package: netinstall CDROM image
Version: "etch"
Platform: Sparc sun4m SPARCStation20

When attempting to use the netinstall CD image I
consistently get to the point where it tries to mount
the installation media to install the base programs
necessary for network package download but the mount
fails with:

isofs_fill_super: bread failed, dev=sr0,
iso_blknum=16, block=16

in the system log.  The installation screen assumes
that the CD is not in the drive.

The CD is readable by a Debian-3 installation that
also exists on the target machine...so, I can only
assume that the Debian-4 installation process (isofs
driver) is buggy.

Multiple copies of the CDROM (burned at low speed)
fail at that same point.

CDROM: ancient SUN SCSI external CDROM drive.

Also, trying to manually mount the media with

mount -t isofs -o ro /dev/sr0 /cdrom

fails with "Device not found" error...Drop the -t
isofs and it errors with the iso_fill_super: error
mentioned above.

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.
