Greetings Debian People!

I put in the boot disk and get:

Boots the kernel .... [other stuff blows along the screen]

then I get:

VFS: Insert root floppy disk to be loaded into ramdisk and press enter

In goes the root disk and I get:

RAM DISK: compressed image found at block 0 invalid compressed format
(err=2)<5> VFS: Insert root floppy and press enter

If I hit enter again I get a bunch of stuff (MS-DOS FS Rel. 12,...) and finally:

Kernel Panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 02:00

Then it is time to reboot.

Anyone have some advice for me on how to get by the root disk stage of the
installation?  TIA!

Dennis
