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:)
