I can confirm this bug, on Dell Latitude CPiA 300, with netinst 20040907 from http://cdimage.debian.org/pub/cdimage-testing/daily/i386/20040907/sarge-i386-netinst.iso
(md5:ea94232e95adc1e3bb8c51d71a4d941b) This appears to be the same problem as 265612, 247704, 220529. As before the cdrom is mounted ok but some weirdness is causing the symlinks in the dists/ directory to be interpreted as ordinary files. logs attached. hardware is same as bugs cited above.
