Package: boot-floppies
Version: N/A; potato RC3
Severity: normal
I did an install from my RC3 floppies this week - still do not have r1 CDs,
waiting for r2 to be there :} - and went into the following problem. It was
not a blocking problem for me, but I guess it may be to others.
Partionning:
/dev/hda unused (but has old OS and std M$ mbr)
/dev/hdc1 /boot
/dev/hdc2 swap
/dev/hdc3 /
/dev/hdc4 /local
As answers to dbootstrap, as 1st partition to mke2fs I selected hdc3,
mounted it as root, and then mke2fs'd the others.
When it came to LILO setup, I only had 2 choices for LILO location:
hda MBR - well, OK, but I would have prefered hdc MBR, to keep the old
one. Any reason why it's not there ? My bios does support booting
from ide1 ! I tested it successfully !
hdc1 - er... yes. Bad guess. I suspect this can be due to a wrong
assumption like "/ is the first ext2", but I suspect many people
still put /boot first ! Strange that it did not picked up hdc3
here.

Thank you very much for your bug report. We believe the issue you
reported is solved as of boot-floppies 2.3.1. That is the woody
version of boot-floppies, which is available in the archive, or, some
SPARC and i386, at
<URL:http://people.debian.org/~aph/debian/dists/woody/main/>.
If you feel your bug is still outstanding, please let us know or
reopen your bug -- see <http://www.debian.org/Bugs/> for instructions
how to do that.
We are not longer working on Potato boot-floppies, except for critical
issues. If you feel that your bug hasn't been fixed as of
boot-floppies 2.2.22 (the latest Potato version), then you we need to
reopen your bug and put the 'potato' tag on it. Please be sparing --
the more we are distracted with Potato issues, the less effort we are
able to put into Woody boot-floppies.
Again, thanks for your report. Bug reports are a significant
contribution to Debian. We apologize that it probably took so long to
fix the issue you reported.
