I don't even have DOS installed. This is getting really ridiculous. All I
want to do is write a damn kernel to the LS120, which is supposed to be
capable of emulating a floppy drive. Ugh. I think I'm going to play
around some more and try to find out why copying a kernel (with boot
sector?) to the floppy raw didn't work...
