I am attempting to install debian on the
second of two scsi drives (sdb1,2). The
install proceeds fine all the way to
where I try to write the kernel. It won't
format the floppy and complains with
an IO error that it can't write to device 2:00,
and something about sectors 17 and 32 alternately.
It won't install the kernel on the second drive
either, which is surprising, since I had
just removed redhat linux from the exact
same place.
Anyway, I have installed debian twice with no problems.
This third time is tough. I haven't found any
reference to this kind of problem in any of the
installation documentation. I am not really
sure what to do at this point. With the
semester started, win nt may be the unavoidable
solution. :( If this is a known problem, I would
appreciate a pointer to the appropriate documentation.
Thanks,
