I've been trying to install potato to two machines: A Dell Inspiron 3200 and a Compaq DeskPro 2000. Both are older machines with pre-1998 BIOS. The Inspiron has a 4GB hard disk; the DeskPro, 2GB. For both, I am unable to make Linux bootable from hard disk. Strangely enough, though, I was able to install one time to the Inspiron last night, but all my subsequent attempts have failed.
I've tried following Debian's suggestion to place a small /boot partition at the beginning of the disk, but that hasn't helped, either. Has anyone run into and been able to fix this?
