I have no idea about how you got this error.

No.

Knoppix is designed to run entirely from CD, that's right.
If you have questions about the contributed script for a HD
installation, please write to Christian Perle, the author of the script.

In the part of the development that I do, harddisk installation has no
priority. In fact, I discourage installation of a system that is
designed for CD-usage. If you are looking for an installable Linux system,
please buy a box from Mandrake, RedHat, SuSE or download Debian (which is
great for updates, if you ever manage to get it installed once).

Absolutely right. Find should work, devices should not disappear. If they do
this on your system, something is seriously wrong. Maybe your computer has
defective RAM, which is a common error. You will experience all kinds of
funny effects on all kinds of operating systems then.

Maybe use a screwdriver, or better, an editor, to write an improved
installation script, or just help Christian with the development of his own
script. I will be happy to add your script on the CD-Rom if it is
stable, safe and works fine.
