You might be able to use a simpler designation like ata or ata-int. (Not that it should make any difference.) You can try running quik in the installer shell, with chroot /target quik -v. The /target/etc/quik.conf will govern what happens there. Also, try changing the last digit @0:x (x) to the partition number of your root partition. :0 is recommended, but I get good results by specifying the number. If you set your boot-file to Linux, your default label (Linux) will be booted after a delay - whenever quik does get launched. -- *------v--------- Installing Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 --------v------* | <http://www.debian.org/releases/woody/installmanual> | | debian-imac (potato): <http://debian-imac.sourceforge.net> | | Chris Tillman [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | May the Source be with you | *----------------------------------------------------------------* -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
