You are right: with devfs=mount,dall the init process goes further and the system stops since it cannot mount the CDROM. So I select to load the module manually, but the module list is empty. If I select /dev/cdrom, /dev/scd0, /dev/sr0, /dev/hdc then it does not work.
I have an italian keyboard. The suggested keyboard is mac-usb-it but it is a wrong mapping (number needs the shift keys, as in apple desktop keyboard, 'q' and 'a' ar swapped, 'm' appears when pressing 'ò', ...). I cannot switch to the second console, since ALT+f2 does nothing and the same happens for ALT+Fn+F2. so, actually it stops asking 'manually configuring the CDROM?'. Selecting 'yes' will not find it, selecting 'no' it present the same question. Magically, pressing alt+f4, the main menu appears and I selected 'execute a shell', so I found that with devfs I should use /dev/cdroms/cdrom0. Selecting it in the 'manually configure cdrom' doesn't work. Back to the shell: lsmod gives an empty module list. I cannot find the '|' key, but 'nano /var/log/syslog' shows that hda and hdc where found, devfs was run. The hw-detect says: Detecting hardware... Loading modules... Detected module '[Unknown]' for 'Unknown MATSHITACD-RW CW-8121' Detected modules 'sungem' for 'Apple Computer Inc. Uninorth GMAC' Trying to load module 'sungem' Could not load driver 'sungem' for 'Apple Computer Inc. Uninorth GMAC' Detected module 'ide-scsi' for 'Linux IDE-SCSI emulation layer' Trying to load module 'ide-scsi' Detected module 'usb-storage' for 'USB storage' Trying to load module 'usb-storage' then it keeps going: floppy, ide-detect, ide-floppy, ide-disk, ide-cd, isofs. then is says: 'Missing modules 'sungem, usb-storage' then main-menu says ls /lib/modules/*/kernel/drivers/cdrom/ : No such file or directory mounting /dev/ on /cdrom failed: No such device.
