Date: Mon, 14 Aug 2000 18:20:09 -0700
Sender: c@eskimo.com
Delivered-To: submit@bugs.debian.org
Package: boot-floppies
Version: 2.2.16-2000-07-20
Severity: wishlist
The installer says
If you are ready to reboot the system, you should have the boot
floppy (if you created one) in the first floppy drive, or no
floppy in the first floppy drive if you want to boot directly
from the hard disk, or the Debian Rescue floppy if you want to
reboot the installation system.
Please take care of that before you answer "Yes" to the
following question.
Reboot the system? [Yes] [No]
It would be better to rewrite this dialog so that the text is
more directly related to the task. Something like
To reboot the system, your (first) floppy drive should have
* No floppy (to boot your system from your hard disk)
* The boot floppy you just created (to boot from floppy)
* The Debian Rescue floppy (to restart the installation)
When you're ready, choose [Reboot] to continue.
[Cancel] [Reboot]

The reboot message was reworded as follows. This bug can be closed.
If you are ready to reboot the system, you'll need to make sure you
are booting from the right media.
If you are booting from the local disk, make sure there are no
floppies in the floppy drives and no CD-ROM in the tray. If you made
a custom boot floppy and want to boot from that, you should put that
floppy in the first floppy drive. Finally, you can restart the
installation system by booting from your install media.
Please take care of all that before you answer "Yes" to the
following question.
Reboot the system?
