Install from existing system; error.

The error I get seems to already known when you use a USB key and it is:

ERROR: Boot device didn't show up after 30 seconds

the suggested fix for USB appears to be this:

 ln -sf /dev/sdb /dev/archiso 

Since I am using the hard disk I tried swaping in sdaX and when that failed I tried hd0, neither worked.


I am using a Dell Latitude L400 and the net install iso


Another thing that was requested in one of the USB threads was:

 cat /proc/scsi/scsi

and the output:

Attached devices: 
Host:scsi0 Channel 00 Id : 00 Lun : 00
Vender: ATA Model: IBM-DJSA-Z20 Rev: JS40
Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision:05
 

Not sure if that means anything (and I may have written something down wrong), but if it does at least you won't have to ask for it.
thanks.
