A little more info after having tried something else .... I put the Debian rescue floppy in and typed 'boot' at the ok prompt. The rescue disk brought me to the Debian prompt. So at the boot: prompt I typed boot: linux root=/dev/sda1 and it loaded from the HD! This allowed me to complete the install process and get the system working! So that's the good news. But now, when I reboot the system, I'm still getting the Can't read disk label, etc error messages, so I'd still like to resolve this. Thanks Kevin
