Hi,
I downloaded debian-31r1-s390-binary-1.iso and burnt it
on a CD, which I made available as an NFS export.
I then downloaded the Debian startup files for s390,
and IPL'd the debian-installer.
Now I have a problem, and maybe 2 of them. :)
1) The installer does not seem to recognize NFS.
13:14:27 Please select the file download protocol.
If unsure,select "http"; it is less prone to
problems involving firewalls.
13:14:27 Protocol for files download:
13:14:27 1. http [*] 2. ftp
13:14:27 Prompt: '?' for help, default=1>
Is it really not possible to use NFS to install Debian linux?
2) I don't know if this is a problem or not, but I will ask.
At an earlier stage, I gave the network parameters:
addresses, port info, IP, mask, gateway; but the network
is not working. Isn't it supposed to be up at this point,
when the installer wants to access a download mirror,
or does the network only get initialized later?
Thank you,
Shimon
