You don't need to be silent, you need to upgrade your software to a
version which does not suck so much that it can't boot modern hardware.
Not that Woody's 2.2.20 is capible of booting my machine either, but
Debian seems to be hell bent on using software that is so outdated in
stable versions that people are unable to install it. It's noteworthy
that the very popular Netgear FA311 (natsemi driver) still isn't supported
by the 2.2.20 floppies, and the installation instructions that have been
prepared don't even talk about the other floppy set which include a more
reasonable kernel.
(Of course all of this is moot as of a few days ago when I started playing
with a new Promise-based IDE controller which doesn't even work with the
2.4.18 bootfloppy kernel... It requires an -ac 2.4 kernel, or at least
the addition of Andre's IDE patch..)
