Well, there you have it.
My second guess would be an issue with the 2.88M drive reading a 1.44M
floppy that was created in a 1.44M drive. I was going to try burning a
1.44M floppy in the 2.88M drive to see if it allowed the disk to boot
without errors but I got local disk and network working before I got
around to it.
