First, be real sure you have written the floppy correctly.
Yes, the floppies are OK.
If writing it from a different system doesn't help, try installing
the uuencoded and gzipped version of the "fdflush" program
Wasn't as easy as it sounds--in the end it seems to work.
cd /root (assuming the hard drive root is mounted on /root)
fdflush
dd if=/dev/fd0 of=floppy1 bs=1k
gunzip < floppy1 | cpio -i
gunzip complains "stdin: decompression OK, trailling garbage ignored"; I
think this doesn't matter: Debian GNU/Linux is up and running. Thanks,
Karl.
