<H2><A NAME="ss9.1">9.1 Boot the Machine</A>
|
|
</H2>
|
|
|
|
<P>There are many ways to boot your machine in order to install Debian, you can if
|
|
you wish use a Debian CD 1 which contains all the floppy boot disks on one easy
|
|
to use media to boot your system. However, it is more common to boot an install
|
|
of Debian using floppy disks, these are provided by Debian on their mirror
|
|
system.
|
|
<P>Obtain the floppy boot images from your chosen mirror server from the directory
|
|
<CODE>/debian/dists/stable/main/disks-hardware/current/images-1.44</CODE> where
|
|
<CODE>disks-hardware</CODE> is the hardware type that you are going to install
|
|
Debian onto. Note that there are several different sets of floppy disk boot
|
|
images in this directory and you should be careful to choose one that is
|
|
suitable for your use. If you are not sure which to use then just use the ones
|
|
in the directory specified rather than any of it's subdirectories.
|
|
<P>Copy each floppy disk image that you have downloaded from the server to a
|
|
different floppy disk following the example below:
|
|
<UL>
|
|
<LI>Insert a floppy disk</LI>
|
|
<LI><CODE>dd if=/path/to/image of=/dev/fd0</CODE></LI>
|
|
<LI>Remove floppy disk.</LI>
|
|
</UL>
|
|
<P>Do not mount the floppy disks when using this procedure to create floppy boot
|
|
disks. Also, don't forget to check that the floppy disks you are going to use
|
|
are (a) good floppy disks i.e. not broken, and (b) do not contain any data that
|
|
you need as the entire disk will be overwritten with all data lost.
|
|
<P>Once you have a set of boot disks you can boot your client system from them by
|
|
inserting the first disk and turning on your system. You will be presented with
|
|
a welcome screen with some instructions on which you should be able to press
|
|
[ENTER] to continue the installation. A normal Debian installation can now take
|
|
place, see the
|
|
<A HREF="Network-Install-HOWTO-10.html#AppendixA">Further Information</A> section for
|
|
references to instructions on how to install Debian.
