I have a dual boot setup and was using Lenny booting GRUB from a
floppy. The floppy is busted, now when I use Supergrub to boot there's
no sound.
Is there any way either I can recreate the boot disk from the system
to another floppy or a new CD? This Lenny install worked wonderfully!

How exactly, does Debian do it when it installs itself? It asked me if I

another avenue; I already have the old original 2.

I am going to respond to several emails at once here, since they all said very
similar things.

Upon going through the installation process again, bot

working, it's now a non-issue.
The CD I'm using is definitely burned, but at the moment that doesn't seem to
be an issue any more.
Yes, correct; it's now a non-issue.
What's the problem again?
The problem at the moment is that I can neither make the hard drive

That doesn't look right to me - you don't boot from a swap partition. I

Try other disks? Skip making a boot floppy? I never actaully made a boot
floppy myself...

I am a new user trying to install vanilla potato from an existing dos
partition. Everything seems to go okay until I try to create a boot
disk.
I get errors with the format of the floppy (invariably). Dos system has
no problems with the drive or media. Any suggestions?
tell me?

Hi
I tried to use the script mkboot that (if run as user, makes a boot
disk by dd the kernel to a floppy and then running rdev on the
floppy.) Boot floppy made that way esn't work.
If I do it barehanded
cp kernel /dev/fd0
then
rdev
to set the root and swap doesn't work either.
Hi,
I'm running 2.2.19 as original kernel, and I installed the 2.4.16 kernel
with apt-get. This didn't produce any errors so I assume it went ok.
However, I am using a boot floppy to start up my system, but this floppy

Hi
I've been having problems booting Debian from floppy.
The reason I boot from floppy is that I have 2 hard disks on my PC:
Windows lives on the first, and linux on the second, with my root
partition on /dev/sdb1.
I installed Debian from CD, and this created a boot floppy
