Bug#240126: load-floppy: eject root floppy before requesting driver floppys
Package: load-floppy
Version: N/A; reported 2004-03-25
Severity: normal
When installing "testing" from floppy disks,
it should eject the root floppy automatically
before it requests the driver floppy.
Actually, it should eject the current floppy any
time it wants a new one, but the driver floppy is
where I encountered the problem for the first time.
The reason this is an issue for Macs is that
Mac floppy drives (actually the bezzels that
Apple puts in front of their drives) don't
have a big fat "eject" button. To manually
eject a disk, one has to use the paper-clip
hole if the system won't eject the disk for you.
Thanks!
Rick
