Following "4.3.1. Copying the files — the easy way", I assume? Please indicate the URLs used for download of boot.img.gz and the iso. If you used the correct files and followed this doc, this should work. > So, I thought the problem was a missing image. > When I read the footer [8] > "http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/manual/en.i386/ch04s03.html#ftn.id318743"; > and a few other docs, I understood that for a netboot install, Please don't confuse "netboot" with "netinst". The former boots an image from a properly configured server (usually located on your LAN). The latter boots an image from media attached to the machine which includes a base system that then fetches remaining packages from a Debian archive over the network. You are attempting a "netinst" and should ignore doc that deals with "netboot". > I didn't > need any other additional image than initrd.gz. > > In doubt, I tried the "mini.iso" from netboot anyway. Huh? The footnote explicitly says it is *not* suitable. You need netinst or businesscard ISOs. > I also tried the businesscard.iso, but it didn't brought me any further. I suspect you may have used the wrong files, but without any indication of which precise files you used, I can't tell.
