hi all I lost the boot floppy for my Linux laptop (Tosh. Sat Pro 4270), so I downloaded the tecra images from the debian.org site. System boots fine with the rescue disk, but after I mount the root partition (/dev/hda2), and select the "Make Boot Floppy" option, i get the following error:
"Creation of boot floppy failed. Please make sure that the floppy was not write protected, and that you put it in the first floppy drive. Try another floppy if the problem persists." I've now tried about 4-5 disks, new ones, so I'm sure it's not a media problem. I've also tried switching to the second virtual terminal and executing "mount /dev/fd0 /floppy", but that doesn't seem to help either. any ideas? many thanks Andrew ------------------------------------------------- Andrew McRobert LLB B.Sc(Comp.
