Bug#609335: apt-setup lacks support for loading additional discs after installing from netinst with firmware



Package: apt-setup
Version: 1:0.52
Severity: normal

Since there was no reaction to 
http://lists.debian.org/debian-boot/2010/12/msg00562.html , I am filing
bugs so the issues can be fixed eventually.
