20050719 testing gets as far as installing grub. It says "Probing devices to guess BIOS drives. This may take a long time. end_request: I/O error, dev fd0 sector 0". There is nothing in fd0. I can't strace it, but looking at /proc/[grub]/fd I don't see it with any device files open except /dev/vc/1. Both copies of this ISO get stuck in the same place. How do I get past this?

I gave up and tried lilo. It said "Fatal error: LILO: Would overwrite Partition Table". Never heard of this problem before. Why?
