Thanks. Made that set of diskettes and tried them. The SCSI drive is not recognized.
/debian/dists/woody/main/disks-i386/3.0.23-2002-05-21/
images-1.44/bf2.4/kernel-config has no comments explaining
the format but contains this line.


CONFIG_SCSI_AHA1542=m

Can anyone report the meaning of the "m"? Appears that
support for the AHA1542 is absent.


It's a module that gets loaded when required. Probably you need to feed the computer with the driver floppies.


These options remain.
1. Remove the AHA-1542 and forget about using SCSI. Connect an ATA drive to the on-board controller
and try to install Woody there.
2. Replace the main board with a Pentium.
3. Try to install "testing".



Testing isn't so silly.
