What do you mean; doesn't support the SuperDrive?
The DVD drive is a generic MMC3-compatible IDE drive; there is no
issue
of support involved here.
O, more precisely, the debian_installer, once booted whilst pressing
dong 'C', past the locale config, tries to detect the cd, and load
the needed module in the install kernel, to proceed with the install.
That's the point where the install stops and issues a warning of
unsupported hardware, and error in locating cd-rom drive
Being a new tech DL superdrive it didn't surprise me really, i'm an
old debian user, so in my early times i remember going to buy
hardware always with the Hardware-HOWTO in my hand :)

You can try the netboot ISO from my site, but you also need to install
the kernel that omes along with it:
http://www.cpu.lu/~mlan/ftp/debian/albook-mini.iso
http://www.cpu.lu/~mlan/ftp/debian/kernel-albook.deb
The kernel contains every hardware support I deem important or useful
compiled-in (not as modules). But you may disagree with me; so use the
config that is included in the package to build your own kernel.
Well, there'll be time to compile a custom one, past installation..
Znx, i'm actually doing backup to reinstall MaxOsX for applying
repartitioning logic, and then i'll try this
I'll keep u updated on my progess :)
znx :)
