Hi,

We're getting more reports from people failing to deal with syslinux
settings for debian-installer; we've had a fix in the installation guide
for quite a while but it wasn't propagated to jessie yet, meaning the
website still has faulty instructions for jessie (4.3.3.2):
  https://www.debian.org/releases/jessie/amd64/ch04s03.html.en
  https://www.debian.org/releases/stretch/amd64/ch04s03.html.en

Samuel already cherry-picked the changes in the jessie branch, but that
wasn't submitted yet. You'll find attached a quasi minimal patch against
jessie (yay svn…). Changelog:
| installation-guide (20150423+deb8u3) jessie; urgency=medium
| 
|   [ Matt Kraai ]
|   * Fix Instructions for creating syslinux.cfg according to syslinux 5.00
|     change. Closes: #803267.

Full source debdiff attached.

Thanks for your time.


KiBi.
