Just reporting that I find a configured SME 5.1.2 server fails to create the reinstallation disk. It appears we run out of room when writing the ks.cfg file. I've tried multiple floppies all freshly formated and find the same results.

However as you add entries to the db config you reach a point where you surpass the floppy capacity and disk creation fails.
