FC2 wont ask to create a boot floppy because the kernel is too big to
fit on a floppy. In place of a boot floppy they have a custom "rescue
cd" now that has the kernel on it and acts as a boot drive but on a
cd. Basically, it performs the same function, but on a cd instead of
floppy. As for the errrors, i still dont know. I had a similar one,
and it never did get straightened out. I ended up having to reformat
everything because the file systems ended up getting corrupted.

e-mail lists suck.  just think of how much bs would be avoided if it
were regular usenet.
