TESTING TARGET:
        task:           Base system installation
        source:         boot-floppies 2.1.2 from Incoming

PREPARATION:
        Downloaded base2_1.tgz, drv1440.bin, basecont.txt, install.txt,
        resc1440.bin, md5sum.txt to ~jeff/debian/slink/ directory.
        Verified md5 checksums.  Used dd to make resc1440.bin, disk
        change on fd0, re-read resc1440.bin from floppy and verified
        its contents with original file using cmp.        

PROCESS:
        Booted with resc1440.bin disk.

PROBLEMS:
        Completed first 4 screens - Color/Mono, Release Notes,
        Configure Keyboard, Use Previously Initialized Swap
        Partition.  I then selected Use Previously Initialized
        Linux Partition and found myself back in Color/Mono
        screen.  VC3 contained these messages:

        init: started. Waiting for process 6.
        Executing etc/rc auto
        pid 12 exited, status=0.
        Executing sbin/dinstall
        pid 13 exited, status=1.
        pid 15 exited, status=1.
        pid 17 exited, status=b.
        Executing sbin/dinstall

COMMENTS:
        At this point, I tried all other options, e.g., Configure
        Base System; these selections were correctly rejected.  Of
        course, Reboot caused the system to be rebooted ok.  I
        have some minor comments that I will voice in another
        email.

Thanks for providing me with something to play with,
