"install operating system kernel and modules" problem
This is my question and Bob Hilliard's response. Unfortunately, neither of
his suggestions worked. Is 'instmnt' a literal string or just a placeholder?
Can anyone help me with this. Many thanks.

I haven't made a new installation in years (my last installation
was for bo), and don't know anything about the current boot disks, so
my guess may not be helpful. I would try `/instmnt/debian/dev/sdb1'
or `/instmnt/dev/sdb1'. If neither of those work, try the same without
the `/instmnt'.
If these don't help, the best place to get help is the the
mailing list, `debian-user@lists.debian.org'. To subscribe to the
list, send an email to debian-user-request@lists.debian.org with the
subject `subscribe'.
