No. It seems to work without a problem at all times. There
are no messages from the floppy drive even when the installation
fails - the base diskettes allways finish being read and fail only
when they are
cache, or
something like that.
*PLEASE* let me know the answers to these questions. I've got the same
problem. I've worked around it but I really want to *solve* it!
Thanks!

Did you see any error messages on the floppy I/O?
I've seen the floppy driver fail in several cases. I have a Pentium 120
laptop here in which the floppy works when cold, not when warm. Windows
95 runs that floppy just fine.
The fix is probably to tune the floppy timing parameters automaticaly

Amos,
This sounds like a probelm that I'm trying to track down!
Here are some key questions:
1) Is your floppy boot disk connected to the floppy controller on the
1542?
No, the floppy is connected to the on-board IDE
Hello,
I was trying to test the boot process of Debian 1.1.8, which kept
failing in the stage of unpacking the bases diskettes.
The system is:

16Mb memory
AHA1542CF ISA scsi controller
PCI motherboard
Disks:
IDE - Western Digital 600Mb
SCSI - a very old, very slow HP SCSI-1 disk
