Thanks for your answers.

@fpmurphy, I tried the command line procedure following your link but got stuck at #10.
First I don't have any initrd.img but only initrd.gz:
Code:
xxxxxxx:~# find debian-506-i386-netinst/ | grep initrd
debian-506-i386-netinst/pool/main/k/kickseed/initrd-kickseed_0.50_all.udeb
debian-506-i386-netinst/install.386/gtk/initrd.gz
debian-506-i386-netinst/install.386/initrd.gz
xxxxxxx:~#

Anyway, I unzipped it:
Code:
xxxxxxx:~# gunzip -c debian-506-i386-netinst/install.i386/initrd.gz > debian-506-i386-netinst/install.i386/initrd
xxxxxxx:~#

But couldn't find a way to mount it:
Code:
xxxxxxx:~# mount -o loop debian-506-i386-netinst/install.i386/initrd /tmp/initrd
mount: you must specify the filesystem type
xxxxxxx:~#

Could you point me in the right direction?
