Re: Installation with BT-930
Can you boot from CD-ROM? A WD-7000 isn't on your hardware list. Which
debian-version is it?
Next, what does say your CD-ROM-boot which SCSI-adapter do you have. What
devices have been found for the BT-930 and so on. Starting a
Debian-installation from a floppy isn't a good idea.
