Bug#618432: installation-reports: installer stalls trying to search /dev/fd0 for proprietary driver for ethernet device
Package: installation-reports
Severity: important
The installer freezes on "detecting network hardware." syslog output on tty4
shows repeat attempts to use /dev/fd0 that seem to go on indefinitely. There
is no such device on this machine. Apparrantly this is a search for the
proprietary firmware files. While running the expert install I did succeed in
installing debian by typing "mount /dev/sda1 /media" into tty2, while a USB
drive containing the missing firmware was inserted, but i was unable to
replicate this on a second attempt. I believe this is similar to the error
described here, which helped me find the work-around:

Comments/Problems:
see above. It seems fairly clear that the installer is searching for the
missing firmware on /dev/fd0, which does not correspond to any type of device
or media on this system. It should move on to search the other media, such as
the one inserted in my USB slot that contains the needed firmware.
