I'm getting " FATAL ERROR: Bad logical partition. Press any key to
exit fdisk" during installation.
The first partition on my hard drive hda1, I guess is not recognized
by fdisk or cfdisk within the
installation program (on resc floppy). This happen on option "B:
Partition a hard disk", for a Swap
partition.
The first partition is the boot manager by OS/2 and must be readonly.
Would this be a problem?
Is there any other way of installing Debian using floppy disks?
Thanks
Ali

If you have a large hard disk, cfdisk won't work correctly. Go to a
virtual terminal with ctrl-F2 or ctrl-F3 and run fdisk instead.
