Package: boot-floppies Version: 3.0.17-2001-11-20 Severity: important I was able to boot (tftpboot.img) and mount the NFS root with no problems. rescue.bin and drivers.tgz are downloaded from the mirror and placed in /tmp on the NFS root, but then I get the following error:
Unable to mount the rescue floppy. You may have inserted the wrong floppy. Please try again. I have not found any way to work around the problem and have thus been unable to install debian on this machine (hence important). cat'ing rescue.bin to /dev/ram and mounting /dev/ram works fine so I suspect this is something trivial, but I wouldn't know where to start re finding and fixing it myself. Other 'messages' which may be interesting: Mounting /dev/ram on /floppy failed: no such device (x2) Mounting /dev/ram on /floppy failed: invalid argument (x2) Mounting /dev/ram on /floppy failed: no such device (x1) In case it matters, the alpha boxes in question are multias with no disk devices and v3.8-3(?) firmware (not that this is necessarily relevant!) - samj -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
