Hi,

When I am installing Debian on my 486 using floppies I got stuck in
the "Install Operating System Kernel and Modules" step of the Rescue
Floppy. I have passed the partitioning of the primary Linux and swap.
But the "Install Operating System Kernel and Modules" step (after the
"Initialize a Linux partition" step) asked for the Rescue Floppy to be
placed in /dev/fd0. I never take the floppy out since cold boot so
I select /dev/fd0, select "Continue", but I have the following message

"Mount failed - This is not the Rescue Floppy. Please place the rescue
floppy in the first drive and try again"

I cant seemed to pass this step, I tried "safe" image of the rescue disk
to no avail. I am stuck! Please help

TIA,
Jang
