RE: Problems with installing debian with bf2.4 boot disks and images.
I don't think that is the problem.
I think the problem is that the "linux" file should be created using the
"make bzImage".
I don't think the "linux" file is in bzImage format.
I have found that using the "vmlinuz" file is no good for DOS loadlin.
One has to use the bzImage for DOS loadlin.
Cheers
