First tip is to disable !HID, as Linux won't boot if it has been active.

The partition table reads: /dev/hdd1 -- not mounted-- ADFS /dev/hdd3 swap Linux swap (ARM Linux) /dev/hdd4 /target Linux ext2 (ARM Linux) /dev/hda1 -- not mounted-- ADFS /dev/hdb1 -- not mounted-- ADFS BUT when I got to 'Please select the medium you will use to install the system'. What's the correct option if I'm not using a CD?
You have to install the base files over the internet. They are on www.iyonix.com in the same path as they would be on a genuine Debian Linux server. So if for example the URL for the base files was: http://ftp.nz.debian.org/path/to/the/base/files you should use http://www.iyonix.com/path/to/the/base/files that is leave the path unaltered.
I first chose Hard disc, but 'No ext2, minix, msdos, affs, hfs partitions that had not already been mounted were detected.' Choosing 'mounted' led to Select partition, '/target: dev/hdd4' Select Debian archive: 'list' 'File Not Found. The installation program couldn't find any dirctory containing the file rescue .bin, iyonix drivers.tgz.'
As shown above, you have to get these files from Castle's site, as they are patched versions especially suitable for the IYONIX only. After that you can continue the install process from any media you may have got e.g. CD-ROM, DVD or the internet.
