Re: reporting problems with boot-floppies

[Pann McCuaig <pann@ourmanpann.com>]

Uh, apparently broken.

I tried the new ones, the 5-floppy set from

<URL:http://auric.debian.org/~aph/bf/2.2.17-2000-09-14/>

with the following result:

Everything went smoothly until the first reboot (from a boot floppy),
and this is where I was dead in the water:

---------------------------------  schnipp!  -------------------------
Starting internet supervisor: inetd.
/bin/sh: /sbin/termwrap: No such file or directory
/bin/sh: exec: /sbin/termwrap: cannot execute: No such file or directory
... (repeats several times) ...
Init: Id "1" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes
---------------------------------  schnapp!  -------------------------
(waits 5 minutes, fails again)

I could open another console (to make these notes), but the next step of
the installation (root password, create a user, dselect, etc.) never
happened.

FWIW the following modules were installed:

nls_cp437
nls_iso8859-1
vfat
parport, parport_pc, lp
serial
bsd_comp (ppp) (slhc)
dummy
slip
tulip
sg
st

I downloaded the base system from the network (accepted defaults).

System is a PII-400, 128MB RAM, tulip clone, a couple of IDE drives, a
SCSI drive and a SCSI CD-ROM. DSL to the net.

Luck,
Pann
