To check the problem I have done the following today, and can not find the described problem. Here is exactly what I have done:
1. download etch beta 2 network installation-cd-image i386 built on 20060304 2. default install on vmware langugage=English country=Germany keymap=German other=<default> 3. Debian software selection: nothing => Now kernel kernel 2.6.15 and grub are installed 4. apt-get install bootcd ssh bootcd-mkinitrd (gets also some dependencies) 5. bootcdmkinitrd (gives some warnings, but works) 6. reboot 7. bootcdwrite (without any config changes) 8. scp /var/spool/bootcd/cdimage.iso <to host system> 7. boot from cd (without any options) => OK Did you run bootcdmkinitrd ? Does bootcdmkinitrd work in a chroot environment created with debootstrap ? ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
