Bug#132990: Test of latest boot floppies

[Mark Zimmerman <mark@foresthaven.com>]

Greetings:

I tried out the new 2.4 boot floppies from ~blade/boot-floppies and
had no problems. This is the Thinkpad machine that originally had the
'white screen of death' problem and later, the crash in the base
install. I went through the whole process including base install from
the network and everything worked fine.

Also, the problem I mentioned once about being unable to use a serial
console was caused by the fact that Thinkpads come with the serial
port disabled in firmware by default. This has been fixed and the
serial console works fine.

Thanks,
-- Mark
