I'm trying to install debian 4.0r0 via the floppy images. The laptop is
a Averatec 3200 series laptop with AMD Athlon XP-m 2000+, 256MB RAM, a
dead DVD-ROM/CD-RW (will not work at all), Via chipset(not sure exactly
which) and Via-rhine II ethernet. The floppy drive i'm trying to
install from is an external USB floppy.
my BIOS boot the floppy fine to the Debian boot floppy, but after it
starts trying to load the kernel, i hit the error:
floppy0: no floppy controllers found
cannot load floppy
and then it just hangs after that. I have installed debian before on
this laptop when the CD drive has seen better days and never had the USB
working initially after an install.
