I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro (425CDT) 1.3G HD, 40mb ram, P100 (maybe
133). I am installing debian Woody over internet.I have sucessfully
installed deb Woody on very similar make/models with the same
boot/driver disks. I want to dual boot with Windows being on a 335mb
partition.
My partition table currently looks like this:
hda1 335mb fat16
hda2 549mb /
hda3 90mb swap
hda4 450mb /usr
The problem: I get through the first part of install fine. I choose to
put MBR on the root partition. I reboot, configure Time Zone, choose md5
and shadow, pick passwds and users. It loads
/etc/console/boottime.kmap.gz, and starts me over at configure time zone
again.
Additional info: when it is unpacking stuff it says "looking for
keymap to install: NONE." I can use the consoles fine as root/the user
I've created.
What I've tried: Initially I had the partitions set up differently,
and I've changed them. The first time I tried this, I installed no MBR
at all, with the same behaviour. I have attempted to install different
keymaps. I've done this:
install-keymap KERNEL
install-keymap NONE
install-keymap /usr/share/keymaps/i386/qwerty/emacs2.kmap.gz
and edited debootstrap located in ~. I did this inconjuction with trying
to install the emacs2 keymap which I also renamed as boottime.kmap.gz
and put it in the appropriate dir.
Ok, now I have tried this partition scheme:
hda1 335mb fat16
hda2 10mb /boot
hda3 950mb /
hda4 130mb swap
This is driving me nuts. I am unfamiliar with debian, so please be
kind with your advice. :) Thank you.
