installing on XFS: bootloader problem

2005-03-11 Thread Max
Hello! I'm trying to install debian-amd64 to my existing xfs partition /dev/hdb2 (so it's on the second HDD while my main system lives on the first HDD with LILO on MBR). First, I downloaded sid-amd64-netinst.iso, burnt a CD and boot from it. Everything went just fine until installing bootloader
