    I'm using the Debian Sarge Netinstall RC1.

    I type

    linux netcfg/disable_dhcp=true

    at the initial boot prompt.

    The installation runs thru a few steps successfully, and then jumps into
    DHCP configuration, which succeeds.

    It says - Network Auto Configuration Succeeded.

    I do not want the DHCP routine to run, which is why I typed in netcfg/disable_dhcp=true

    Am I doing something wrong or should I file a bug report ?


    I think that this has already been reported in #266245.

    As far as I can tell, you replied to #266245, so I suppose so?

    I tried to reproduce this with a 2 day old sid_d-i netinst CD, but I
    can't. I wonder if it's possible that Mark mistyped the
    "netcfg/disable_dhcp"? One common cause of this outside the US keyboard
    mapping mismatch, since syslinux assumes a US keyboard layout. Another
    one is, of course, a typo. :-)
