Hmmm... this is the woody floppy and it should work, I guess this might by a floppy media issue -> try another floppy. Always write floppies with "dd" and compare them with "cmp" after writing. Because of unresolved legal problems with miboot, the official builds of the new debian-installer cannot contain working (boot-) floppies images. But they are available at http://people.debian.org/~luther/d-i/images/daily/powerpc/floppy-2.4/ (Be "warned" that these are unstable builds of d-i which install Debian sid. When rc3 is is available, we'll make sure that there will be unofficial rc3-builds with miboot, which then can be used to install sarge.) You could also try ../floppy/ which contains floppy images with 2.6 kernel - if you have success with those please report it. (I never had.) > Can someone please give me a pointer at what to do?
