Just did an extra check. usbstorage should be usb-storage (2.4) / usb_storage (2.6). Additionally the module ide-core needs to be included!!! The modules fat and vfat (also required) are already present on the netboot initrd for both 2.4 and 2.6 kernels. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PR

Package: debian-installer Severity: wishlist I think it would be a good idea to have the option to mount an USB-stick early in the process of an i386 netboot installation. AFAICT the only thing necessary for that would be to include the modules - sd_mod - scsi_mod - usbstorage in the initrd. -
