Wheezy iso cd image not booting?

May 14th, 2012 - 12:50 pm ET by Josef Wetzel | Report spam
Hi all

I am trying to install Debian wheezy in VMWare Fusion 4.1.2 on Mac OS X
10.7.4.
I downloaded debian-testing-amd64-netinst.iso (on 13. may 12) and
configured Fusion to use this iso image as a cd drive.
When I power up the virtual machine, a blinking cursor in the upper left
corner of the screen is showing up and nothing else happens.
When I do the same thing with debian-6.0.4-amd64-netinst.iso (squeeze),
the installer comes up and everything works as expected.
(btw I burned a cd from the wheezy iso image and tried it in a Dell
desktop, with the same result: nothing happens.)

What am I doing the wrong way?

Thanks for any help

Josef

Hello Josef,
I' just translate this from official debian page. ...which one to use? I
don't know.

"There are two different netinst CD images which can be used to install
squeeze with the debian-installer. These images are intended to boot from
CD and install additional packages over a network, hence the name
'netinst'. The difference between the two images is that on the full
netinst image the base packages are included, whereas you have to download
these from the web if you are using the business card image. If you'd
rather, you can get a full size CD image which will not need the network to
install. You only need the first CD of the set.
Download whichever type you prefer and burn it to a CD. To boot the CD, you
may need to change your BIOS configuration"
