Well, currently I do not have a single (good) idea. My expectation was
that the scsi driver would recognice that device as a SCSI cdrom and
lisist it in the file /proc/sys/dev/cdrom/info. If it would do, the
installer also would offer it in the medium chooser. But something seems
to go wrong, do not ask me what.

Well, if someone in Germany (around Karlsruhe or Kaiserslautern) can
borrow a firewire CDROM drive, I could try to find a solution, but
without hardware it is hard...

Gruss/Regards,
Eduard.
