$ wget http://people.debian.org/~joeyh/d-i/images/daily/hd-media/boot.img.gz

please correct with proper image source. --Schris 21:46, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

Seems to work again. The image is regenerated daily, maybe you tried downloading it while it was being replaced or something similar... --Uwe Hermann 10:14, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Issues

I had some issues with this tutorial:

  1. Problem: installer can not load kernel modules, suggests boot and installation images do not match. Solution: use images from the "current" branch rather than the linked ones.
  2. Problem: garbled, unreadable installation menu. Solution: choose graphical expert installation, then video mode 0x312 (640x480x32)
  3. Problem: booting the installed system, it reports "saving VESA state", then the output changes to unreadable gray on gray. Solution: boot to single user mode, and add to /boot/grub/menu.lst:
    kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.whatever root=/dev/hdc1 ro vga=0x312
