Thanks for your answer, Brian Potkin.

Ok. I see /dev/loop0 too. But if I try mount iso file
mount -t iso9660 -o loop /mnt/sda1/debian.iso /mnt/iso ##
/mnt/sda1/debian.iso and /mnt/iso is present
console hangs, but Ctrl-C helps. After that in /dev appears huge
number loops (loop0...loop0999 ... loop9...loop999).
May you show a way mount this iso image after boot from one?

I know about netboot mini iso, but I wish to have possibility install
debian from main iso-images. At least with manual way, but the
automatic method with "iso-scan/filename=" is desirable.

I'm very glad of all Debian community it has happened with them. Only
I want little more.
Let's look at
http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/dists/squeeze/main/installer-amd64/current/images/hd-media/{initrd.gz,vmlinuz}.
If I do command on this I see:
ls /lib/modules/2.6.32-5-amd64/kernel/drivers/ata/
ahci.ko
ata_generic.ko
ata_piix.ko
libata.ko
pata_sis.ko
pdc_adma.ko
sata_inic162x.ko
sata_mv.ko
sata_nv.ko
sata_promise.ko
sata_qstor.ko
sata_sil.ko
sata_sil24.ko
sata_sis.ko
sata_svw.ko
sata_sx4.ko
sata_uli.ko
sata_via.ko
sata_vsc.ko
Why pata_sis.ko present on this image, but pata_amd.ko not? Sis lobby
more powerful and rich then amd one? :)
In my case I need pata_sis.ko for recognize my hdd and then partitions
on it. Only after that I can manually or with auto-search from
installer find a appropriate Debian iso image and install one. Is
hd-media images for usb-hdd only? This link
(http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/manual/en.i386/apas02.html#howto-getting-images-hard-disk)
say NOT.
Let's look at
http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/6.0.6/amd64/iso-cd/debian-6.0.6-amd64-xfce+lxde-CD-1.iso:
ls /lib/modules/2.6.32-5-amd64/kernel/drivers/ata/
ahci.ko
ata_generic.ko
ata_piix.ko
libata.ko
pata_ali.ko
pata_amd.ko
pata_artop.ko
pata_atiixp.ko
pata_cmd64x.ko
pata_cs5520.ko

sata_qstor.ko
sata_sil.ko
sata_sil24.ko
sata_sis.ko
sata_svw.ko
sata_sx4.ko
sata_uli.ko
sata_via.ko
sata_vsc.ko
What is funny... It have pata_amd, but haven't loop.ko. Hd-media
have loop.ko, but not many needed pata_xxx.ko. I'm confused.
It's all I want to say. Thanks for your attention.
