1FA: problem still in hamm disks

[Duncan Thomson <thom-ci0@wpmail.paisley.ac.uk>]

i've seen postings about this before, but as yet no solution (either as a message or in the boot disks).

when debian is made bootable from the hard disk on certain systems, the prompt 1FA: comes up, but the system will not boot off partition 1.  the disk controller is AHA-2940.  any solutions to this problem?
