I am having trouble installing the Linux Debian Distribution. The
instuctions for installation say to make the rescue disk and boot from
it (using "rawrite2 -f resc1440.bin -d a"). This works fine. I try to
boot, and it goes to "boot: " prompt. I am supposed to press enter to
start installing, when I do it tries to load "root.bin"and fails. Any
suggestions? Please email me. Many thanks.
