Re: "Make boot floppy failed"
Are there certain details I need to give to get a
reply? I looked for the dbootstrap package at debian.org, but I guess it isn't one, even though the message on a virtual console is "dbootstrap: Make boot floppy failed..."

I tried many floppies with the write-protect off. I tried redoing the whole process again after verifying my floppy drive still works. Any suggestions? I haven't found anything on the web or mailing list archives about this.
