hall of mirrors



I get this weird problem trying to install from the CD included in the
book from New Riders Publishing. To wit:

I mount the provided CD:

mount -a /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom

and get the root directory, as expected.. yet when I cd to /debian, I get
the same directory when I do an ls. So then I cd to debian again... and
again, and still get the same directory listing. I pwd, just to make sure
I'm not being silly, but I get:

/mnt/cdrom/debian/debian/debian/

Just for the hell of it, I cd to debian a few more times, hoping beyond
hope that the *.tgz file is in there somewhere. 

Nope. Just:

/mnt/cdrom/debian/debian/debian/debian/debian/debian/debian/debian/debian/

What gives? Am I doing something obviously dumb, or do I just have a bum
cd? Please let me know.
