Bug#28201: boot floppies for 2.0 do not make system bootable

[Adam Di Carlo <adam@onshore.com>]

i have tried to install debian 2.0 on a client's machine, and all goes
well until i make the system bootable from the hard disk.

when rebooted, the system print 1FA: and will not proceed further.

the system uses an AHA2940 SCSI controller, and the root partition is
the first of the SCSI disk.  this partition *has* been made bootable,
and i've tried the `linear' option of lilo, to no avail.

since i don't have direct access to the machine, i can't try just any change right away, but i will try the most recent slink boot-floppies on wednesday, and can report back on results.

i hope this problem can be corrected before 2.1 release.
