Package: boot-floppies
Version: from potato r2
Hi *,
I got a report forwarded from a german user of the LinuxLand edition
of Debian r2. He writes that he was unable to get Debian to boot on
his machine. It turned out that the boot loader was installed on
the swap partition /dev/hda1 instead of the root partition on /dev/hda2.
I took a quick look at the code and it seemed to me that it is really
using the root partition for the boot loader. I could be wrong so
here is the report before I forget about it.
In case this is not a problem please feel free to close the report again,
just wanted to have it on record.
Thanks
Torsten
