Debian GNU/Linux 2.1 Installation

[Eduardo Manso]

Hi,

Can you help me?!

I'm trying to install the 2.1 version of the Debian GNU/Linux
and having some troubles...
Everything runs well till 'dselect' is called for proceed whit
packages installtaion. From this point on, only frustrations!
"... iso9660 not supported by kernel" is there. Why?
All the install process was made from my cdrom (ATAPI IDE
says Debian...), so what's the problem?
Here is what I am doing:

. booting from cdrom (my BIOS boot sequence is "A,CDROM,C")
. choosing 'color'.
. choosing "U.S. Keyboard (QWERTY)"
. initializing and activating a swap partition (/dev/hdb3)
. Initializing a Linux partition (/dev/hdb2 - root in this device)
. Installing operating system kernel and modules
     from CD-ROM drive (/dev/hdc - ATAPI IDE)
. configuring device driver modules
     . fs modules     : hpfs, ncp, smbs, umsdos, vfat
     . misc modules : lp, serial
     . net modules   : dummy, ppp, slip
     . scsi modules  : ppa
. configuring the network
     . hostname : edudeb
     . then "no"
. installing the base system
. configuring the baase system
     . Brazil
     . East
. making Linux bootable directly from HD (/dev/hdb2 as default)
. rebooting the system (using HD - no rescue and no floppy)
. choosing a new password for root
. creating a normal user account (edu) and assigning it's password
. enabling "shadow passwords"
. saying "no" to PPP connection to install the system
. choosing "custom" for packages that i want installed
. choosing [A]ccess in dselect
     . multicd
     . block device name: /dev/hdc

Then...

mount: fs type iso9660 not supported by kernel
unable to mount /dev/hdc on /var/lib/dpkg/methods/mnt, type iso9660

Why this? Why during the installation process i could use the cdrom and now
i can't? Why Debain does not recognizes it anymore?

Besides, Debian GNU/Linux 2.1 kernel version was supposed to be 2.0.36
wasn't?
Why when I start the command "uname -a" I get:
"Linux edudeb 2.0.35 #1 Thu Jul 23 14:01:04 edt 1998  i586 unknown"
Is this correct?

I hope you can help me.

Thank you,

Eduardo Manso
