I took a look at the archives and see many no responses so I'm not too hopeful about this but... The computer has a 58 meg ESDI HD. I'm trying to do a floppy install. I used the "Debian 1.2 boot disk for IBM PS2 systems" from, http://mojo.calyx.net/~bri/projects/debian/MCA/
Everything went fine (I installed base from Hamm), until I tried to "Install the operating kernel." It asked for the rescue floppy. I put that back in and got the following error: Installing the rescue floppy ... [MS-DOS FS Rel. 12,FAT 12,check=n, conv=b, uid=0 gid=0, unmask=022, bmap] [me=0x63, cs=768, #f=0, fs=4832, fl=0, ds=4832, de=65530, data=8928, se=14783, ts=1702060386, ls=8308] Transaction block size=512 VFS: Can't find a valid MSDOS filesystem on dev 02:00. Mount /dev/fd0 (type msdos) on /floppy: wrong filesystem type, or bad superblock on /dev/fd0 I then added, /dev/fd0 /floppy msdos defaults 0 2 to the /etc/fstab file. I then received the following error: Installing the rescue floppy ... end_request: I/O error, dev 02:00, sector 2378 end_request: I/O error, dev 02:00, sector 2378 [: resque: unknown operand end_request: I/O error, dev 02:00, sector 2374 sbin/dinstall: ./install.sh I/O error After installing the base and before trying to install the operating system kernel I selected the option, "make system compatible with ESDI disks." The readout starts, Special lilo and fdisk binaries then the errors come: sbin:/dinstall: /target/bin/mknod: not found sbin:/dinstall: /target/bin/mknod: not found.... Anyway I hope someone can make heads or tails of these errors and how I can proceed. Thanks, kent
