debian on a sony vaio 505FX

["Bruno Waes" <bowa@oxygenetic.com>]

i have read the posts in the archive from september but i still have some
problems

i have a vaio 505 FX too but i still wasnt able to put debian on it (i have
the sony pcmcia interfaced cdrom drive too and the two debian 2.1 cd's)

i did as told on the post and dl'ed the rescue/boot tecra disks and
driver tecra disks from
http://www.debian.org/~joeyh/stable-update/resc1440tecra.bin.2.1.11.1-i386
http://www.debian.org/~joeyh/stable-update/drv1440tecra.bin.2.1.11.1-i386

and made the disks
i boot off the floppies and then enable pcmcia support (the alernate choice
to device drivers)
and select
[*] PCMCIA controller
[*] CDROM

on the dialogs that follow i keep the defaults
and then chose to install de base from the cdrom (proprietary) and it says
that the cdrom isnt mounted and jumps to the device drivers dialog

do you have an idea where i did something wrong ?

thanks in advance
