Package: debian-installer
Followup-For: Bug #689528
X-Debbugs-Cc: witold.baryluk@gmail.com



Hi,

this is still broken with recent debian installer daily snapshots.

The device is there and supported by kernel, I can mount things manually
(i.e. mount -t iso9660 /dev/vda /media), but installer simply ignores
this device, even if I create symlink (ln -s vda cdrom).

The workaround to selecting driver none, and pointing to /dev/vda seems
still to work and only option.

Can we get some fix in the debian installer for this?
