I got the same problem : I start a floppy install, connecting to the internet (using the net-drivers.img floppy), but it doesn'y seems to load the needed ide drivers from the ftp.debian.org archive. I solve it simply by loading the cd drivers from the cd-drivers.img floppy image, and then the install process works good. I get the floppy images today on : http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/testing/main/installer-i386/current/images/floppy/ My system is : 486dx4-100Mhz 64Mo ram 200Mo HD 2 nics (3com isa & ne2k pci) The installer run in low memory mode, and I run it in expert mode. Note: I failed to load the cd-drivers after the net-drivers, but it works in loading the cd-drivers first and then loading the net-drivers. I'm sorry but I don't try the last floppy image from : http://people.debian.org/~sjogren/d-i/images/daily/ Hope it may help -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
