When trying to boot Debian (using the 3.1 r0 netboot CD) to install, it

I recommend trying the newer testing netboot installer CDs, rather than the
Sarge r0 one. It might help.

Or maybe Sarge r1

Andrei

Tried the Sarge r1a netinst CD, and the etch testing netinst CD - both had the exact same problem, nothing happens after "Ready." but after removing the hard drive from the laptop, it boots up fine though obviously I can't install without a hard drive.

Thanks very much for your help again in advance.
