Re (2): SILO won't run

Owen,

om> For some reason it also will not create a
boot floopy. 

Creation of a boot floppy also fails when 
installing woody on a Sparc 2 from the 
rescue diskette ... for me at least.  I 
don't recall ever getting the boot floppy
from potato either.  

I wonder whether some variants of floppy 
drives are problematic and happen to be 
overlooked when the installer is tested?

Maybe you can make or get a rescue diskette
and use it to write the boot block.

Regards,      Peter E.
