Greetings, everyone. I just migrated from RedHat over to Debian potato and I'm thrilled so far.
But, I think my boot disk is defective, since it takes 5-7 minutes for the Loading Linux.............. process to complete from /dev/fd0 before Linux actually boots. I suspect I have a bad floppy, and I want to make a new boot floppy. I've tried going back into dbootstrap to make it from there, but it won't work. It says my disk is either write protected or I'm not using the first disk drive, despite the fact that /dev/fd0 whirs before I get this error message. I've tried 5 different newly formatted disks, and I always get this error. Is there any other way to make a boot disk? I need to use this temporarily until I can install LILO. Thanks...
