The Debian-Installer cost me the last nerv!
According to
<http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/ch06s04.html.en>
I have created a /firmware directory on my USB-Stick and put there the
firmware.tar.gz and in the same time the extracted DEBs, since I do not
know, how it will be read by D-I.
However, if I bootup the system and choose "Expert install" I am never
asked for the firmware and if I mount it manualy, then D-I try to
install the system on my USB-Stick, or better, on my cellphone!
WTF is this?
D-I fails to mount the USB-Stick becuase the USB-Stickis not a Superdisc
exactly, it try to mount /dev/sda and NOT /dev/sda1. The D-I Maintainer
should be killed! Not a singel USB-Stick, SD oder MMC card is a
Superdisk. Whenever I tried to format one of this to a Superdisk, it
becomes inaccessibel and non-writable
Now, before D-I install the components from the CD, I have copied an
extracted /lib/firmware to the root of the installer and now it does not
more complan about missing firmware, but there is nothing in the logs
which tell me it as loaded the firmware. However, this is only for the
tg3_tso.bin.
The error for the LSI 52c1020 remains.
Thanks, Greetings and nice Day/Evening
