It sounds like your deb install ended prematurely...altho I'm not 100% sure how the deb installer works these days. But basically the system would neet at least the kernel and base system which would include things like init. Maybe try installing debian again. Watch closely to see if the deb installer rebooted because of an error during install. I know a similar thing has happened to me with RedHat/Mandrake.

I have had Red Hat for some time, but wanted to put up Debian. I set aside a second disk, used APC magazine disk. It installed the kernel, and then (not later as in RH) re-booted. I boot through System Commander--the kernel started booting, but after sveral screens there was: kernel panic, no INIT ... I checked the disk, and there seemed to be no /etc/rc.d files--I don't know if that is relevant. so, I have 20 G just sitting there ... what am i oding wrong--or just not doing?? prevenient gratitude ..
