Hi,

This may be a boot-floppies bug or a kernel-image bug, I'd like to figure out
which.  

1. Does the kernel recognize anything when you boot? [1]

2. If the kernel does recognize the drive, where in the installation program is
the drive not found?


Thanks,

David

[1] : the kernel recognizing would look something like this (just various drive
detections that occur on my own system I don't know what it should look like 
for your hardware but this is the general idea.) :
