Anyone tried installing in Linode as custom distribution?

Just wondering if anyone had tried installing in Linode.com with success: I was following their tutorial but I'm stuck after setting the locale and keyboard on "Expert Install". The installer can't find the CD-ROM: "No common CD-ROM drive was detected." Mounts in /proc is only showing the bare disk (this must be Linode specific setup):

~ # cat /proc/mounts
rootfs / rootfs rw,size=2058549k,nr_inodes=256241 0 0
none /run tmpfs rw,nosuid,relatime,size=205856k,mode=755 0 0
none /proc proc rw,relatime 0 0
none /sys sysfs rw,relatime 0 0
devtmpfs /dev devtmpfs rw,relatime,size=1024972k,nr_inodes=256243,mode=755 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts rw,nosuid,noexec,relatime,gid=5,mode=620,ptmxmode=000 0 0

I'm still trying to figure this out (and waiting for Linode's response on a support ticket) but would appreciate if anyone has a clue on what's happening. On the other hand, I was able to get Devuan installed successfully in Digital Ocean by upgrading from a Debian base.

Re: Anyone tried installing in Linode as custom distribution?

I have never tried to set up an install on Linode.  Since /proc/mounts will only show what is mounted then it seems that the cdrom of devuan isn't mounted.  Perhaps you can find the location you need to specify with blkid or lsblk.

Hope that helps,
