Comments/Problems:
1. The machine also has a st19171n SCSI disk with an aha1542 host
adapter. They didn't got detected although I downloaded the SCSI udeb.
Going to the 2nd vt, lsmod showed the the module for the host adapter
was not loaded. Attempting to insmod the aha1542 module on the prompt
shell failed due to unresolved symbols. However maybe the command I
used, insmod aha1542 io=0x134, has bad syntax?
There was no problem with the ide disk.
2. The purpose of the installation was to get a minimal system into
which I can ssh and restore a backup through the network. The partition
that I was installing into was supposed to become the tmp partition of
the restored system.
