troubles installing debian via netinstall


Hi, I need to install debian using the netinstall option, I used Unetbootin to put into my usb flash drive, then I rebooted the pc and the flash drive booted into the installation process, at this point everything was fine; after choose the language and keyboard layout the installation is looking for a CD Drive as the installation media and asked me if I want to load specific driver to acess the cd drive -this pc doesn't have a cd drive - so I'm stuck in this part, because the installation is always looking for a CD, I think the kernel doesn't know that I'm using a flash drive.

my question is:
is there a way to tell the kernel that I'm using the flash drive as the installation media and it doesn't have to look for a cd?

thanks
