In fact, the problem is with my floppy (on the very first sector). I
see it when I try to reformat the disk. So format is always useful
since it tell you if the floppy has a some defect.
But I am still not able to boot the system. I have been able to go all
the way through the installation process (using a nfs mounted
directory containing the debian archive). But when I reboot the
machine, I get the following error:
/sbin/unconfigure.sh cannot create temp file for here document:
read-only filesystem
The boot process stop there and if I press return, it switches to level
6 and does a reboot.
Is it a bug ?
