Hi all,

I am installing Debian again, on the new 8GB card.
Unfortunately it dies on me (second try also), with this error:

I: System configured
I: Done with stage configuration
Running stage kernel

I ran:

SD_PART1_FS=vfat INST_MIRROR=http://ftp.nl.debian.org /debian 
./install.sh all

to get things going, like I did with the 512MB card, and that ran fine. 
The installer-script is right, too: the directory mentioned does not 
exist. Now, what is the smart thing to do?
