Comments/Problems:
Installation of initrd failed... red screen... I go back, repartition,
try again... the installer comes back with an option of what kernel to
install. I try both, neither work.
Note: I had previously installed Sarge on this computer with the
pre-Official release sarge net install disk with the newer debian
installer. The current Sarge net-install disk will not install because
of the lack of support for forcedeth on nForce3.
Am currently jigdo'ing the fsn-unofficial etch dvd to see if that will
work.
