Comments/Problems:

When booting and pressing enter at the SILO promt (booting default)
I get the following error:

Kernel panic: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel.
   Press L1-A to return to the boot prom

when I enter  "linux root=/dev/fd0" at the SILO prompt
booting gets further

at a given moment i get:

VFS: Insert root floppy disk to be loaded into RAM disk and press ENTER
the floppy is ejected, but when I press ENTER nothing happens.

We are closing this installation report for one of the following
reasons:
- it was reported with a pre-lenny version of Debian
  Installer.
- indications in the installation report give the feeling that
  the reported problem waslying in another software, unrelated to
  D-I, which we can't easily identify.
- indications in the installation report suggest that it may have been
  fixed in a more recent version of a D-I component
- it was successful and we forgot closing it..:-)
- it has no information we consider useful


The D-I team is currently in the process of cleaning out the old spool
of installation reports that haven't bene processed yet. 

In case you think that the problem you reported has chances to be
still present, please reiterate your installation test with
a more recent image of D-I, if you're in position of doing this.

You'll find daily builds at
http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer. We recommend you choose
the netboot image, in the "daily builds section", then choose to
install "squeeze" when prompted.

If some problems are found, please report them with a new bug sent
against installation-reports.

Many thanks for your understanding and your help improving Debian,
past and present.
