According to the fine manual, you should be able to boot from a

This is giving me problems for some reason. I've put the floppy images on a
Debian box in my office and dd'd onto a floppy. The boot.flp worked but then
with the kern1.flp - which I dd'd onto the same floppy as boot.flp had gone
on, get this after a while:

zf_read: fill error

readin failed

elf32_loadimage: read failed
Unable to load a kernel!

maybe I'll follow the other path and just install my needed software the old
fashioned way.
