Comments/Problems: I have used this way of installing before and have
had no problems. I then bought a new SATA CD Drive.
It worked OK. Because I had wrongly installed my Nvidia drivers the
wrong way on my first install I thought I would do a new install.
The install went OK until I tried to install GRUB on my floppy...and it
would not install GRUB...it did not see my floppy drive!
so it must not have installed any drivers for my floppy /dev/fd0.
The reason I use a floppy for GRUB is I use two HD's and prefer to boot
from a floppy rather than the MBR.
I have been using Debian since it first started...but I am only an end
user! so not very technical.
<Description of the install, in prose, and any thoughts, comments
and ideas you had during the initial install.>

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.
