This was burned from the current boot.img file using the dd command.
BIOS is configured for fdd boot first.

Make your kernel with your SCSI device and Network device (built-in the
kernel, not in modules)
Then:

I have used dd in addtion to the cp command in my message. I always
rdev a kernel on floppy to make it know where root is. Swap too,
thought I think swap is set on boot up.
I have used sys linux, but that is SLOOO booting. Grub
is hard for me because it uses strange disk number

hi ya dale
since you have a working box use that kernel ???
debian# dd if=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.16 of=/dev/fd0
if that works...and you want lilo-based boot floppy...

- fix the kernel image to the one you want

Simply during the install procedure before reboot the box substitute the

First go to the Debian site and look at the doc
The should be a directory which contains several disk images as well as
installation instructions. I don't know where it is on the CD-ROM, but
it is in /debian/dists/slink/main/disks-i386/current/ on the ftp sites.
Look for something similar in the directory structure.
