Can you pos your /etc/fstab and output of 'fdisk -l /dev/hda'? That will help....
Otherwise I can't see why this error comes. I can build ext2 file system even on a
floppy and for sure you can not create a partition less than 1.44 MB.
BTW, with my experience 1.44" floppies last longer when used with ext2 than FAT. Also
many track 0 bad floppies work fine with ext2. Somebody give a try.
