The installer correctly identified the root partition, MBR etc. I only was burned by the fact it listed /dev/sdb1 as a cdrom device in fstab, but /dev/sdb1 was basically behaving like one. So when a thumb was plugged in after the install had completed, it would fail to auto mount on my desktop as expected. Suppose a udev rule was confused. Mounting the device to a mount point by hand worked fine. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
