After installing the base system from the CD image stated above, the installer rebooted the system without any problem. But when the newly installed Debian system started it complained about partions not being mounted. I hunted down the problem to the following: During installation only /dev/hda1 thru /dev/hda20 are created. /dev/hda21 and /dev/hda22 are missing (see my partitioning scheme above) As a consequence of this my Debian /var and /home could not be mounted on the reboot after installation. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
