know problem, hopefully that is fixed inthe new boot-floppies, when my amiga
decides once to not crash in a day for a change...

You have to move them to some directory, the install procedure tells you
where it expects them. Know problem, the build did not complete in moveing
the files into the correct places. Hopfully... you know the story ;-)

Why did it fail? loop mount filesystem failed? Known problem... I bult a new
kernel image with loop compiled in. did not manage to give the bf another
try with this kernel..
The new (amiga) image is in incoming, since its the first 2.2.10 version, it
will take some time to get installed. If you mange to downloa it from an
incoming mirror... but I doubt that you could install with that, since the
modules changed a bit...

you use the rootamiga.bin for the initial boot? I think thats what I did,
well, cant check, since the harddisks have to be checked after the lastest
crash... no idea why there are two root* files, maybe it does not matter
which you use, the 1440 or for floppies, allthough HD floppies are barely
supported on amiga, the are probably in DOS format... ask on debian-boot if
you want that explained.
I am trying to build an atari image, then Ill try to build news bfs. Maybe I
can fix the remaining problems.... and put up a new version on monday.
