Anyway, you need to get past the "Load installer components from CD" step if you want to load the Ext filesystem modules and mount an Ext filesystem.
i see.
Which means you need a working CD-ROM. From looking at the Linux docs, my guess would be something like this: # modprobe falconide # mknod /dev/hda b 3 0 # mknod /dev/hdb b 3 64
i did these
and probably, # ln -s hdX /dev/cdrom
it won't hurt, so i did this, too
... for some X representing your CD-ROM, derived from kernel log messages.
--> ln -s /dev/hdb /dev/cdrom , correct (i tried both)?
Then run the "Detect and mount CD" and "Load installer components from CD" steps. Hopefully, you'll then find that "mount /dev/sd..." works. (Untested.)
no, CDROM still not detected. The D-I hardware detection searches on the SCSI-Zip drive, but the CDROM does not even spin up.
I can upload pics of my screen output to google pics, if that is of any help. Just let me know what you want to see.
Greets, Stefan
