Comments/Problems:
I downloaded the installer floppies from J. Hess' daily build directory on
20040304. The floppies load up OK (by the way, the splash screen looks very
professional, and is a nice way to initially confront the user). I did not
need to specify any boot parameters (even though there is a recommendation
to specify "floppy=thinkpad").
The installer is not able to recognize my ethernet card. I have an Etherlink
III PCMCIA card. Normally this is recognized by Linux with the 3c589_cs
module, but even if I choose that in the Network setup menu, it is not
recognized. I also tried specifying "irq=9 io=0x300" on the parameter line
(derived from a working Debian install), but that does not work either. I
tried a number of other network modules (including "not listed"), but none
of them worked.
As an additional bit of information: I had earlier tried to use the
semi-official installer floppy images from 20040204. These had no problem
automatically detecting my PCMCIA network card, and I was able to download
the full installer with them. (Unfortunately, I could not install the base
system with them due to "Debootstrap Error Failed getting Releasefile
http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian//dists//Release."; even though it had earlier
downloaded the installer!)
Hope this information helps to improve the installer.
-Mason
