Download base-1.bin,...,base-4.bin, drv1440.bin, and resc1440.bin
files from ftp.debian.org/bo/disks-i386/current/.
Use rawrite2 to make 7 floppies from the above files.
Insert resc1440 floppy and reboot the computer.
A little later it askes to insert _RESCUE_ disk (i.e resc1440) and only
then base-1, etc. Note, that resc1440 should normally be in the drive at
the time it is asked to be inserted. The problems with disks are usually
the reflection of bad blocks on them. Use rawrite2 to create another
set of disks on different floppies.
Hope this helps.
