Had more success formating 1440 kB floppy as 1680
fdformat /dev/fd0u1680
Double-sided, 80 tracks, 21 sec/track. Total capacity 1680 kB.
Alternatively, save the image in /boot and add a line to lilo.conf like this
image=/boot/dft32_v360.img
label=DiskTest
then run lilo, reboot and be sure to choose DiskTest option at boot up.
