Bug#31618: Frozen boot floppies don't work on Tosh laptop.

[Tim Morley <tim@chaos.org.uk>]

Package: boot-floppies
Version: 2.1.4-1998-12-29 (AKA Current)
Severity: grave

However on my Toshiba 490XCDT the main image doesn't work. It just
resets the system about where it should be starting the kernel. the
resc1440tecra.bin from the previos set (2.1.3-1998-12-18) works
fine. Looks like we have been a bit optimistic about new boot images
