First, thanks a lot for all the replies. Yes, I had read somewhere that Ultra's cannot be booted from floppy, I just can't remember exactly where. But the odd thing is, I have already installed Debian/Linux in this same machine using floppy disks with a set of images from the site ftp.ecs.msu.edu, and it worked! It was pre-slink, though, and I think the images were for testing. Unfortunately, I was stupid enough to overwrite the disk a few weeks ago, and so had to try the new images (without success). So I assume there is a way since the hardware is exactly the same. Does anyone have any idea how? Many thanks in advance.
