Toshiba Satellite 2535CDS laptop
I'm trying to install debian on a 2535cds and not having much luck...
I've used the Windows BIOS management software (AFAICT, there's no keystroke
that will invoke BIOS during the boot sequence) to change the boot device
preveference to CDROM/FDD/HDD. A potato CD in the drive appeared to be
completely ignored, so I made a boot floppy, which emits the message
SYSLINUX 1.48 1999-09-26 Boot failed
and hangs.
What should I try next? Or is this machine entirely linux-hostile and not
worth the effort of messing with further?
