 This is a problem with the 2.88M floppy drive.  I'm not quite sure what
 the solution is other than to use a 1.44M drive or a 1.2M.

 This occurs regardless of what machine I make the floppy on (FreeBSD, Linux, NT), and these floppies will boot on any of my other (non-PS/2) boxen. Conversely, Slackware 7.1 boot disks made on any of my boxen will boot on this PS/2.
