Bug#781549: installation-reports: PXE netboot i386 fails (path problem) - debian-installer jessie RC2
Package: installation-reports
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
*** Please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***
* What led up to the situation?
Decided to try debian-installer RC2 to netboot old PC.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
Netboot failed - path problems inside installer - see below.
* What was the outcome of this action?
After I did two workarounds (changes to the installer) I got it booting - see below.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
PXE netboot should work out of the box.
