Hi Mike, I think the installer-CD is is missing the cdrom drivers. Please check in the easy-build.sh script that DI_DIR points to the cd directory, and not to netboot.
Check this: export DI_DIR="/..../DEBIAN_INSTALLER/debian-installer/installer/build/tmp/netboot" and point it to the full /tmp image instead. (this is wrong in my description/patch in https://parisc.wiki.kernel.org/images-parisc/2/2e/Debian-cd.patch.txt) Helge On 10.01.2017 02:12, Mike Hosken wrote: > Sent from my iPhone > Begin forwarded message: > >> *From:* Federico Sologuren <[email protected] >> <mailto:[email protected]>> >> *Date:* 10 January 2017 at 10:47:55 NZDT >> *To:* Mike Hosken <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>> >> *Subject:* *Re: New install media* >> >> Hello; >> I am trying to install debian 9. from scratch disk1 >> my HP visualize B2000 boots OK from CD to the point where I select country, >> language. >> it stops at next step indicating cant mount CD rom >> >> can you help me? >> I don't understand why installation disk does not recognize my cdrom. it is >> an IDE. >> >> >> On Tue, Jan 3, 2017 at 5:25 AM, Mike Hosken <[email protected] >> <mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: >> >> Hello debian-hppa list members, >> >> There is new instalation media available at >> http://prometheus.parisc-linux.org/debian-cd/debian-9.0/debian-9.0r1/ >> <http://prometheus.parisc-linux.org/debian-cd/debian-9.0/debian-9.0r1/> >> >> This allows instalation of the latest unstable/sid release of Debian >> GNU/Linux for the HP PARISC (hppa) architecture. >> >> An installation guide will be updated on >> >> https://parisc.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Debian_Ports_Installation >> <https://parisc.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Debian_Ports_Installation> >> >> INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS >> >> * Instructions to burn the ISO image on a Mac: >> https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5132196 >> <https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5132196> >> * IMPORTANT: If your machine has a DVD-drive, you should better burn >> the image to a DVD disc.
