IBM PS/2 Potato Install Fails
When attempting to install debian potato off of
http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/potato/main/disks-i386/2.2.13-2000-05-04/images-1.44/
I get through bootup, kernel detects the MCA SCSI correctly, and we can
partition and initialize the hard drive, when attempting to install
the OS kernel and modules, the system fails to recognize rescue.bin
as the Rescue Disk.
Not sure if this is a known bug - I checked the bug system and didn't
see anything about it though..
