I spent days trying various boot floppies; on one system they would work maybe 40% of the time, on another they didn't work at all. I finally told my BIOS to disable the second floppy drive and suddenly I could boot the floppy! Others have reported needed in power-cycle instead of RESET or vice-versa. I spent an evening reading through the boot floppy source code and never did find the real problem. My advice is to download a fresh boot floppy; maybe a new version has been provided that works better.
