Package: boot-floppies
Version: 2.2.23
I'm trying to install potato on a new system and having no luck.
I burned an iso image of the 2.2.23 boot floppies.
I can get to "Install Operating System and Modules"
I select CD-ROM, and after a bit I see the message "Mount Failed\
Unable to mount The Rescue Floppy."
The fourth VT shows the message:
dbootstrap: Mounting /dev/loop0 on /floppy failed: Invalid argument
If I try and mount the rescue image manually:
# cd /instmnt/debian/dists/potato/main/disks-i386/current/images-1.44
# mount -o loop -r rescue.bin /floppy
I get:
WARNING: loop device is read-only (repeated 3x)
Mounting rescue.bin on /floppy failed: Permission denied
Now, I can do
# chmod ug+w /dev/loop*
# mount -o loop rescue.bin /floppy
and get
Could not find a spare loop device (repeated 3x)
Mounting rescue.bin on /floppy failed: Success
(and no, /floppy is empty and mount does not show that it has been
mounted.)
Any ideas what is wrong?

The iso image I wrote to CD and booted off of was incomplete. When I used a
non-broken boot CD, the install went fine.
feeling pretty dumb,
