Hi,

I tried the Wheezy Alpha 1 netboot installer [1]. I burned the .iso
onto a USB drive and tried to boot from USB. The boot worked, but the
installer gave the error message in [2]. Quoted here for reference:

"  The CD-ROM does not seem to contain a valid 'Release' file, or that the file
could not be read correctly.
   You may try to repeat CD-ROM detection, but even if it does not succeed
the second time, you may experience problems later in the installation."

It looks like it is scanning for my actual CD Drive, rather than knowing that
the installation should happen from USB itself. Is this expected ?

I can provide more info if needed.

Some specs:
  * Lenovo, core i3 (64-bit), 4 GB RAM
  * Optiarc DVD RW AD-7585H Rev:K822
  * JetFlash 1GB USB used for booting

PS: Please keep me in cc, as I'm not subscribed to the list.
