Greetings :-) I'm a new Debian user, and I have a problem with my boot floppy. I saw a post about a very similar problem in the latest digest: It takes extremely long time to boot. However, I do not suspect that there is something wrong with the disk because I have tried several different disks and they all have the same problem. When I insert the rescue floppy and enter "rescue root=/dev/hde8" the system boots just fine, however, I'd like like to avoid this workaround.
My debian version is 2.2_r2, and there is nothing special about my floppy drive. The various boot floppies were creating during the installation process using dbootstrap. Thanks in advance. Sincerely Nina Jansen
