Sorry in advance for a probably naive question: I'm trying to install Debian 1.3.1 by floppy on my Toshiba Tecra 520CDT (Pentium 166, 4GB, 32MB). I've tried several different sources for the floppy, including "InfoMagic" CD's, which produced a rescue/boot floppy that failed. I've also tried making a floppy from the ftp distribution in ftp.mi.us.debian.org/debian/bo/disks-i386/1997-10-1/resc1440.bin. That floppy produces the following result when I try to boot up the laptop:
Loading root.bin.... Loading linux.... ...Toshiba Video BIOS V1.20... ...Self test...memory 32MB.... ...LDLINUX.SYS V1.30.... and then I get a "Welcome to Debian GNU/LINUX 1.3!" screen finishing with boot: According to ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/stable/disks-i386/current/install.html I should be able just to type <enter> at this point to begin installation. However, when I try this, the process above merely repeats, and I wind up at the boot: prompt again. Same thing if I try boot: rescue root=/dev/fd0. What am I missing here? Thanks very much for any helpful advice. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
