Dear Debian folks, I've had some fun trying to install the Potato release of Debian GNU/Linux on a DEC Alpha Station. Everything was fine until the installation routine asked me to place a floppy disk into the drive associated with /dev/fd0. Apparently, it was about to create a "rescue floppy."
I didn't want to do that but had no option to skip that step. What's even worse, even if I had wanted to create such a floppy, I would have been unable to do so. This jewel of an Alpha doesn't have a floppy disk drive, yet the installation routine was convinced of the contrary! The favor I'd like to ask of you now is: Could you modify the installation routine so that those of us who don't want a "rescue floppy" or don't have a floppy drive can get by?
