Sorry for the typo in the "Subject:", that should be 2002-02-07
for arch i386.

Here is an excerpt from the /var/log/installer.log file,
Feb 19 14:51:05 (none) user.info dbootstrap[256]: Mounting ext2 partition
/dev/hda9 on /target
Feb 19 14:51:05 (none) user.debug dbootstrap[256]: running cmd 'mount -t ext2 /d
ev/hda9 /target'
Feb 19 14:51:20 (none) user.debug dbootstrap[256]: running cmd 'mount -t ext3 -r
/dev/hda6 /instmnt'
Feb 19 14:51:20 (none) user.info dbootstrap[256]: mount: Mounting /dev/hda6 on /
instmnt failed: No such device
Feb 19 14:51:20 (none) user.err dbootstrap[256]: The partition was not mounted
successfully.
note the attempt to mount /dev/hda6 as type ext3.

Thanks, but I don't need a workaround, I am reporting a bug that I
consider to be disconcerting for a newbie.
The timezone config program that I am referring to uses a full
screen character oriented display, just like the rest of the
Debian installer that is invoked when I boot the floppy diskette.
I do not remember exactly the contents of this screen, but I am
sure that the problem that I reported (one cannot cancel the
selected timezone, one can only affirm the selected timezone)
definitely did occur. IIRC, this dialog happened after I
rebooted.
Thanks,
