Hello to all:
Whenever I boot from a rescue disk created with Potato or Woody, then
switch to the root disk, I constantly get an end_request error.
I've tried every configuration I can think of, including:
- Switching disable/enable legacy floppy support in BIOS
- Using the LS-120 driv

got a LS-120 boot disk to run lilo, but it needed some extra parameter.

I'm trying to make a "super rescue" floppy on an LS-120 floppy.
At work we have several machines with no "standard" floppy drive
configured thusly:

to superformat's formatting of floppies? I'd hate to think the
Redmond folks can do something my Debian box can't.

Hi,
Is there any chance to install Debian with a
LS-120 Drive? My system doesn't have a 3.5 inch
floppy.
When I trie "Install Base System" it gives
an error saying it can't read floppy: I/O error.

If you wish to use a LS-120 with the rescue disk you have to mount
'/dev/hdb' by hand using the ALT-F2 console and then use the 'already
mounted' option in the install.
The rescue disks do not yet support directly mounting an ls-120 as a

If you find out how to do format a dos floppy in an LS 120 drives, that
would settle my impending purchase on an LS 120 for the new machine in my
life.
It seems to me that formatting a floppy should be do-able by any drive
that can write to the floppy disk. Or d

Dunno. Ironically, Windows NT SP3 can't format floppies in the LS-120

Yes. The 2.0.30 kernel includes support for the drive. Look for

Thank you for the suggestion. I got it to install without the
use of loadlin. I made a rescue disk on a normal 1.44 floppy
and then put a debian/hamm/main/disks-i386/current tree on a

The big problem with the machine we are installing Debian
on is the fact that it does not have a "normal" floppy
drive. I have not looked into using the LS-120 as the
