Bug#64428: dbootstrap should check if right set of driver images is being used



Package: boot-floppies
Version: 2.2.15-2000-06-07

More confusion possible: If you accidentaly insert wrong set of floppies
(base instead of drivers in my case) it will happily read all the disks
(11 instead of 3), then of course fail with (not very helpful) "wrong
drivers.tgz" message.

If it's not too much work, it'd be nice if it could tell me I'm doing
wrong right away.

##### BTS note:

Adam,

I wanted to add this to 64428, while making it maintonly as it's not so
important really. If the BTS will not understand it, merge the reports,
please. Sorry if I caused any problems.
