I recently installed the most recent version of the Debian base system on an 
old 486 (with a clean system) from floppy disks. Everything seemed to be 
working fine and the base was installed, but when I tried to boot it from 
the HD it returned only the message LI and then froze. I managed to boot 
from the rescue disk and re-installed because I couldn't figure out the 
problem. After the second instalation nothing was improved; in fact, the 
rescue disk now returns LI. I have tried three different disks and numerous 
reformats, but the disk refuses to boot. Althoug I'm not sure, the fact that 
the system claimed my root sector was set to read-only and wouldn't let me 
change it to writeable may have something to do with the no-boot from the 
HD, but it doesn't explain the no-boot from the rescue disk. Any help, 
either to succesfully boot the system or to completely re-install it, would 
be appreciated.

Lars
