Subject: [Installing] Unable to mount dos partition?

  Hi there,

  I'm currently installing 2.1.5, and failed several times in
  the step of mounting a dos partition for reading sources from.

  I put entire 2.1.5 CD in a dos extended partition in 'sd1s1',
  and 2.1.5 is going to be installed to 'sd1s2', and I selected
  install from the 'sd1s1' when prompted.  After several screen
  changes, I got an unable to mount /dev/sd1s1 to /dos.... error msg.

  I guess I might miss something in the middle, but what?

  If I should mount the dos partition manualy, what are the
  steps and where is the enter point?

  Thanks for any help.
