Re: CRC Checksum on Rescue boot



Floppy disks built with rawrite or dd are notorious for not working
properly.  I had to rebuild one of mine numerous times (back when I didn't
have a BIOS that would boot from CDROM) when I was doing my first Debian
install.

Make another one and see if the problem clears up...
