I've found the problem, and a fix has been uploaded. It should show up
in the floppy images built tomorrow. I'll try to do some usb floppy
testing of my own, though it's a real pain to do with real floppies.

I used the i386 floppy images to install to a Sony PCG-C1X which has no

prompted for a driver disk. The

This package uses /dev/floppy/0, so there is no way it can work with USB

There is some more robust code for picking a floppy device in

I apoligise. I have forgotten about a small detail with usb floppy
installs: They don't work unless you have a fixed
debootstrap-cvs-floppy-udeb on them with a few additional commands.
Until bug #215169 is fixed, the boot floppy will not support USB
floppies.
Probably no need for all

Hi,
I just got a new laptop (Toshiba R100) and I thought I'd give the new
debian-installer a try. The laptop only has a USB floppy drive and I'm
having trouble getting the installer to start. I dowloaded the
bootfloppy image, the floppy image, and the net_drivers image and tried

Thanks alot! I used this method today to install my new JVC MP-XP7210DE,
and it worked more or less flawlessly.
