Forwarding from debian-boot for comment.
okay the boot disks work fine but the cd will not. i've talked to two
other people who've reported similar problems (the floppies work but the
cd doesn't).
is it posssible there is a bug in the cd? i got another older potato cd

Well, if we wanted this, we should use grub, rather than writing a
debian-only version.

Ben, you wrote this function and I don't quite understand it:

What's the disposition of the siteROCK patches? Is the debian-cd
group planning/hoping to apply them? It seems to me that the
debian-boot and debian-cd teams need to sync up on this one.

I'm now building for release boot-floppies 2.2.17. Many many bugs
have been fixed in this version and even if it's not the final for
2.2r1 at least it will get wider testing (I've heard very little about
my prior 2.2.17 test version).
