Sorry Devon...no joy.  Can't make the transition to the second
floppy...complains about BOGUS sector sizes, can't find filesystem, and
the cdrom can't find the cd.
Could it be because I'm editting the setup.sh to suit my drive partitions?
 I tried a couple different floppies...tried with 16M and then just let it
run through normally.   Mounts everything, writes the files to the
partitions tho...but just can't find the floppy when we need it...G
