If you are talking about version 26 of the
*unofficial* LordSutch.com ISOLINUX test
image/mini-ISO for Debian 3.0, please carry on
reading.
Thank you very much for that valuable information.
I have also tried to boot with the bf24 image. With the same result.
This confirms Mr. Winter's answer.
However, I did NOT try what sfdisk says when using the bf24 image.
I will try that this week-end and post the result here (if it differs).

No, current 2.4 works. IIRC the relevant code has been present in the main
kernel tree since 2.4.20 or so.

I can confirm this, I hit the same problem about a year ago.

I'll try to build a 2.4.20 kernel image and write it down on a floppy.
I suppose that if I use the same root/swap indications as in the kernels
present on the cd
(with rdev), the floppy will continue towards the CD ?
