Package: boot-floppy
Version: i386 20070317

I've tried to boot from floppy, but boot stopped on "Loading initrd.gz...."
Boot floppy from Sarge works well, but I cannot install Etch with this
floppy... And I have no Sarge CDs now, it tells about different
kernels on CD and on boot floppy...
I've noticed also that initrd.gz on Etch boot floppy is too small in
size in comparison with that on Sarge boot-floppy.

PS: Tried to install Etch on Compaq ARMADA 4131T... P166, 42Mb
memory... It cannot boot from CD :(
