In some special situations, <command>debian-installer</command> might
|
| 12 |
not know how to mount your file systems (whether root or otherwise).
|
| 13 |
It may be possible, if you're an experienced GNU/Linux user, to simply
|
| 14 |
go to <userinput>tty2</userinput> by pressing
|
| 15 |
<userinput>Alt</userinput> and <userinput>F2</userinput> keys
|
| 16 |
together, and manually run the commands you need to run in order to
|
| 17 |
mount the partition in question.

If you are mounting a root partition for your new system, just mount
|
| 22 |
it to <filename>/target</filename>, the go back to debian-installer
|
| 23 |
and continue (perhaps running the ``View the Partition Table'' step to
|
| 24 |
cause <command>debian-installer</command> to re-compute where it is in
|
| 25 |
the installation process.

For non-root partitions, you'll have to remember to manually modify
|
| 30 |
your new <filename>fstab</filename> file so that when you reboot the
|
| 31 |
partition will be mounted. Wait for that file
|
| 32 |
(<filename>/target/etc/fstab</filename>) to be written by
|
| 33 |
<command>debian-installer</command>, of course, before editing it.
