I'm hoping to run a course including the installation towards the end of next
week, but the machines I'll be using have a problem. When debian is installed
to boot off the hard disk, a prompt:
1FA:
comes up. According to the docs, this should mean that I can boot off

Though I did not comment upon the original message, I too feel as you do
and that is that I have seen that code (1FA:) displayed on a machine
that did not have Linux installed. This is strictly SWAG but I think
that it came from the ROM on a SCSI controller card at the time that I
believe that I

1FA: is what I get when I try to boot from My hard drive. I had this problem
once before and the problem mysteriously went away. It hasn't gone away yet on
this box. this disturbs me. This is a new machine with a 9gig cheeta drive,
1st (system) partition is 500meg. Any Ideas???
I ran into the 1FA Boot problem after loading ver 1.3 Base System. The
system would boot fine from floppy, but not from harddisk (it just sat at
1FA: until a floppy was put in and the "F" key was pressed). After reading
a couple of replies to a similar problem I tried changing the

Karl,
It's a deliberate decision to not put LILO on the MBR, but on the partition.
Removing the "1" works, but makes it difficult to boot other operating
systems. He shouldn't get the prompt from the "mbr" program unless something
is wrong with LILO or the partition hasn't been activated.

It's saying that it sees that partition 1 on the first hard disk is
bootable, and it is offering you the option to boot partition 1, the
Floppy, or to go into Advanced mode. Advanced mode offers you the choice
of booting any partition on the first disk.
Generally you'll see this prompt if you hold

Ran the installation program from the official CD but when I try to boot
from the hard drive I get a "1FA:" prompt. What does this mean? More
