Here is what the bootable floppy says after the;
'Generated' line
--------
Mounting: /dev/fd0 (vfat)

Extracting filesystem:
Looking for module packages

Copyig configuration.
-------------------------------
There is a lot more but the failure takes place at the "Mounting" statement.
I looked to see if /dev/hda1 existed in the /dev directory and indeed it does
but I still think it has something to do with something in the block device
setup.
