I had the same problem with my installation. After numerous attempts and
reboots I found out that one of the floppies boots *only* if the machine is
restarted with the reset button and the other floppy boots *only* if the
machine is turned off and then back on.
I suggest experimenting with the network card settings (irq/io) and have
them explicitly set rather than on auto... (Dunno why this would make any
difference but it seemed to do on my machine).
My configuration:
amd k6-2/400
ne2000 card, 1IDE HDD, 1 floppy, ATI Xpert@work (which works very fine,
thank you:)
