The floppy will still boot the same kernel, but it will be compatible.
If you upgrade to a newer kernel at some time, you should prepare a new
boot floppy (if it is a .deb kernel image package, you will be asked
whether you want to make a floppy).
You might consider installing LILO for the ability to boot either Win95
or LILO from the hard drive.

I have a debian/win95 system with a debian boot floppy. I boot to
one or the other system by having the bios set to boot A:C and
putting the debian floppy in the drive if I want debian. Now I
realise that the only way to boot debian is with the old version on
my floppy disk.
I don't actually know if I achieved anything with my apt-get dist-
upgrade, apt-get update and apt-get install libc6, but I do have
the feeling that I'll only get to debian with the old version on my
floppy disk anyway.
How do I find out what sort of state my system is in now? And is
there a way to get the new system (if I've got it) on to the floppy
disk?
I'm only subscribed to the digest list, so it might take some time
for me to read any replies, but I'd be most grateful anyway.
