You got lucky -- in the loader code those are suppoed to be equivalent
(i.e. a floppy is always treated as a single dos filesystem).

I found that my system has the same problem unless I *disable*
my second (different type) floppy drive in the BIOS beforehand,
and nothing that is entered at that prompt will work (in my case).
