Same problem as over here, so I've always had to forgoe making a boot
floppy. Would it be possible to have a target device with /dev/fd0 as
being the default? I mean, BIOS's nowadays allow people to boot from
floppy/ls-120/zip, so we should be able to specify what target device we
want. The zip might not be feasible (sectors and whatnot, maybe? Not sure
how the boot stuff is written but if it uses something like rawrite it
could be a problem...). At the very least, I'd like to have a 1.44 floppy
in my ls-120 and be able to make it a boot floppy even if linux sees it as
/dev/hdb.
