Sorry, no little menu, but the screen saying my CD could not be mounted. This is the loop: Main Menu (Load Installer components) HW detection "Unable to load some modules" "Your installation CD could not be mounted" "Failed to find and mount a Debian CD-ROM" Main Menu (Detect and mount CD-ROM) Or, exactly the same except for the starting point: Main Menu (Detect and mount CD-ROM) HW detection "Unable to load some modules" "Your installation CD could not be mounted" "Failed to find and mount a Debian CD-ROM" Main Menu (Detect and mount CD-ROM) >I have no idea what you are describing here. I hope the description above makes it clear now. Cold it be that the installer thinks this box got no floppy drive? Admittedly, I first also tried to mount /dev/floppy0, and it took me a while to find out that I should use /dev/floppy/0 (sorry, no prior experience with this new stuff).
