        just started using the debian-installer, got my first few
systems installed with sarge through PXE and net-boot.

modify the first boot of the kernel. According to the instructions
vmlinuz is booted with init=/linuxrc so I uncompressed and mounted
the initrd.gz and expected to find a /linuxrc. I didn't. Is this
not valid anymore or am I on the wrong track?
     

Those must be old instructions (which ones?), init has been /sbin/init
for a while.
   

Used those:
http://wiki.debian.net/index.cgi?DebianInstallerNetbootPXE
 

Since I'm PXE-booting, I thought I'd cast my eye over it. I don't know 
what version of d-i I'm using, likely it's beta4 or later (depending on 
what was on the ISOs I picked up a while ago).

I'm using this:
label 4
       kernel images/sarge/vmlinuz
       append initrd=images/sarge/net-initrd.gz
with apparent success - I've not let it go far as I want to fiddle with 
it first,

What I really want to say though is this:
The requested URL /debian-boot/2004/debian-boot-200406/msg02222.html' 
was not found on this server.

Since I haven't a clue where it really is, I'll leave it to someone else.
_I_ do have a linuxrc, but it's pretty short.
