hi, yes, you don't need floppies with this image; I tried this .iso lastly on Ultra SPARC, and it worked perfectly. just a stupid question, but ... did you tried selecting network installation after the image boots? or it does not reach this stage? and that's sure your CD with the image is not corrupted any way?
just another Debian newbie's answer:-) Nikolaj ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bryan Supak" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, August 15, 2002 1:13 AM Subject: RE: installation issues Hi all, The new iso gets me to a point where it asks for the root floppy. When I put it in (I've tried 4 different root floppies) it says I didn't specify the type of ufs filesystem, then shows me a mount string, then bad magic number, kernel panic and hit L1-a for boot prom. Any ideas why I can't get past this? I thought on a CD install I didn't need floppies. Am I wrong???
