I have persuaded a co-worker to install Debian on his machine.
However, he has a LS-120 drive (essentially a 120MB capacity
floppy) and no "normal" floppy drive.  I wrote a resc1440.bin
(from hamm/main/disks-i386/current) for him since rawrite2
will not work (apparently) with these disk drives.  The problem
is when it comes to install the kernel and modules on the HDD,
the system cannot mount the floppy drive.  I am trying to install
Debian on /dev/hdb (an IDE drive), and /dev/hda has a NT installation.

Any ideas how to overcome this?

Thanks for any assistance,

Paul Rightley
