Subject: Instl Help: floppy io error, dev0200 sector 4...

Hi, I am trying to install SLS. When I tried boot a1 disk, everything
seem normal for a little while, then after searching for a hd (there
is no free partition for linux yet), it keeps saying...

floppy io error
dev0200 sector 4
reset floppy called
floppy 0, probe failed

...over and over again... And drive A: light stays on the whole
time.

I re-ftped a1.3 and re-rawrited the disk, on three different drives,
but still does the same thing... Any ideas? Does linux need a free
partition in order to boot (do I need to hookup my spare hd and
repartition it at this point?)

Thanks!

bill
