Package: boot-floppies Version: 2.2.23 I'm trying to install potato on a new system and having no luck. I burned an iso image of the 2.2.23 boot floppies.
I can get to "Install Operating System and Modules" I select CD-ROM, and after a bit I see the message "Mount Failed\ Unable to mount The Rescue Floppy." The fourth VT shows the message: dbootstrap: Mounting /dev/loop0 on /floppy failed: Invalid argument If I try and mount the rescue image manually: # cd /instmnt/debian/dists/potato/main/disks-i386/current/images-1.44 # mount -o loop -r rescue.bin /floppy I get: WARNING: loop device is read-only (repeated 3x) Mounting rescue.bin on /floppy failed: Permission denied Now, I can do # chmod ug+w /dev/loop* # mount -o loop rescue.bin /floppy and get Could not find a spare loop device (repeated 3x) Mounting rescue.bin on /floppy failed: Success (and no, /floppy is empty and mount does not show that it has been mounted.)
