after booting debian says that the fdd of my LX is a "post-1993"-model. with this i never had errors on PROM-Level but the recently described "I/O-port already in use"-message is output sometimes when i try to mount the device (not reproduceable). maybe the IPX- series whose owners reported the error with the boot-disks has an older drive, as AFAIK it was released earlier, which doesn't work with the disks. it is possible that the whole problem turns out to be an incompatibility with an older fdd-model. then maybe a change of the disk-image to accomplish the older standart solves it, assuming that the "post 1993"-drive is backwards compatible.
IPX-users should check the model-# of the fdd _________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED]
