[comp.sys.hp] Followup: Panic during 7.0 installation

Tom,

    Of the three possible problem causes you mentioned, the one that 
    makes the most sense is the dead floppy drive.  It shouldn't really
    be a problem, though.

    Anyway, if you feel like messing with this some more, after the
    installation dies you can take the target disk, mount it on
    another system (probably have to fsck first), and look at the file
    "/tmp/update.log".  It MAY provide a clue as to what happened.  The
    other thing of interest would be a complete list of the files on
    that disk.  It would show how far into the process you got.

Thanks,
