floppy install problem
I have a debian potato box on which I have decided to do a fresh install
of woody rather than an upgrade (I am turning a former wksta into a
server and don't need 60% of the packages now on it). The floppy I am
using was previously used for another installation and worked well.
The problem is that the machine doesn't boot from the rescue floppy.
The floppy is "read" briefly - i.e. light goes on - but then it boots
the old potato from hd. The boot bios boot order is floppy, cd, hd.
The messages on the screen are:
mbr
loading linux....
Any idea why the rescue disk is not being used to boot the system? The
machine is an old HP Brio Pentium.
TIA
