Quoting Jack Carroll ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): > Package: installation-reports > > Debian-installer-version: Beta-4 20040528 floppy images Sounds confusing to me. Was it beta4 or was it a daily build from 20040528, which is more or less the version we now call "tc1"�? If this was beta4, re-testing those machines with tc1 would be great. I think the ISA SCSI card will not be detected as well but the PCI one should be. If it is not, posting the output of "lspci -v" will help. > The partitioner didn't recognize any pre-existing Linux file systems > created by previous Debian distros (Libranet 2.7, 2.8.1).

This is obviously a wishlist against grub-installer-->having it offer the possibility of creating a boot floppy. No idea whether this is possible or not.
