Installation troubles
I decided to re-install Debian 2.0 today from scratch, because I wanted
to re-partition my hardisk. I have the official Debian CD and using that
I repartitioned my disk so that it now has 4 linux partitions - 1 large
root partition (primary), two smaller logical ones (for /home and /etc)
and a swap partition. I contiued with the installation and as usual once
the base system was installed I rebooted my machine (with the boot
floppy in the drive). The kernel was booted, and I say all the usual
messages until I saw something along the lines of :
INIT : no inittab
INIT : no default runlevel
Please enter runlevel :
At this prompt I entered 2, and then I got back :
No more processes left at this runlevel
At this point I had to switch the machine off - ctrl-alt-del had no
effect.
Would this have anything to do with the fact that /etc is in a logical
partition?
Any help appreciated

P.s. I installed several machines using the same CD, so it's definitely
OK
