hey all, so i tried for the first time to pull up a system without any cdrom, just boot disks, and a locally mirrored debian distribution on FTP. i got three disks, resuce, boot, and drivers_1. rescue seems to be the only bootable one, and i get to a lilo prompt with options "linux", "floppy0", "restore", and "ramdisk0". however, all of these yield a "Boot failed: please change disks and press a key to continue," after which the boot sector is read again. i figure that from this point, the root disk is needed, but i could not, for the sake of anything, convince debian to boot off the disks from the various ftp sites. any hints?
