Debian Install Flash Partition Disk Failure "No Root Partition"

[Herman]

No partitions appear on Debian Squeeze install step showing "overview of your currently configured partitions and mount points. Options are "undo changes" or "finish partitioning and write changes to disk". Either way there is nowhere to go from here.

Installing from instructions at http://www.cyrius.com/debian/kirkwood/sheevaplug/install.html

Any ideas?

Thanks

Are you trying to install to the internal MTD flash or to an SD/MMC flash card?  The Debian installer doesn't support the former.  If you're trying to install on the latter, what image did you use?

[Herman]

Former. Somehow I managed to miss that point. Do you happen to know where to find info on installing to a USB hard drive? Can the PLUG be booted from that drive. The drive can be mounted and files accessed. The drive was used to boot my Linksys NSLU2 (Slug). Both use ARM cpu architectures so maybe booting from that drive will work???

Should this question be posted on another thread?

Thanks
Herman

I'm not sure I understand your question.  The install guide you mentioned in your original post explains how to install to USB stick (or SD card).
