I finally found out that the distro I was using, installed a Minix file system on the floppy before copying the boot data to the disk. YMMV. I think I was running a SuSE distro at the time. Seems to me they used the minix fs to save space on the floppy. If you are running SuSE 7.2 or 7.3 Pro, check the Reference Manual - look in the index for boot disks or rescue disks. Sorry I can't give you more specific information. OTOH, since you *are* running a recent SuSE distro, you should be able to make a duplicate in YaST 2. Look at YaST 2=>Control Center=>System, and then under boot disks or rescue disks - I'm kinda hazy on the last stop, there.
