Re: Debian netboot not detecting Addonics flash adapters

I'm trying to install Debian Squeeze from the netboot image [1] over PXE

by your disk drive, you can select it from the list."

Mmm... (thinking out loud) could it be that you have to add additional
support for these devices to detect the CF adapter and thus the hard disk?

In contrast, the OpenBSD 5.0 installer has no trouble finding and using
the disks. In fact, if I have OpenBSD installed on the disks, then the
Debian finds the disks just fine. So to get Debian, I have to go
through the intermediate step of installing OpenBSD.

What should I do different to do get Debian to find the disks and
install?

Trick: you can try to "fool" the installer by attaching a USB key to
force the detection of additional modules.

You can also jump to a virtual debug console (Alt+F2) to gather more
information about the error.
