Subject: floppy boot on Pentium

Booting directly from floppy (like the 1st disk of the 4 disk set)
does not work on our Pentium PC's when they are running at full speed.
It gets part way through the load and fails with "premature EOF"
(fails at different point every time).
I had the same problem with just about all of our PC's here, until I
got it to go on a laptop. So I thought: bugger it, I'll just copy
it onto c: and make c: look enough like the floppy to boot it.
However I did stumble across the problem that DOS reckons 'aux'
is a device, like prn: or lpt1: -- gag.
Copy /bin/aux/* with plan9.
