This needed to be done at the "scan hard drives for installer ISO image", before the USB drive is detected. Otherwise the USB key becomes /dev/discs/disc0 and the bootloader install gets confused about which is the "first disk" later on. Also, had to install a newer kernel as documented here: http://lists.debian.org/debian-boot/2005/08/msg01080.html Otherwise, things went pretty smoothly this time. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
