There are reasons this might fail:

1) there's a problem with the floppy driver - this has happened in
   the past with the fileserver because the system incorrectly determined
   the CPU speed and delays in the drivers became too short.

   Are you running on a recognised CPU and the speed is correct?

2) the (tivial) DOS driver doesn't understand the layout of your floppy -
   this can happen if the FAT filesystem was made by a system we haven't
   catered for in the code.

   Remake the fileserver kernel with 'chatty' defined as non-zero in
   dosfs.c and let's take a look at the output plus a hex dump of block 0
   of the floppy.
