that's unfortunate.  did you check that the usb device is in the bios
boot order?

if that doesn't work, here are two cd images.  the first one has the
best chance of working, but it locks up on some hardware.  it treats
the cd as a disk image, so we can pack a few more things in than
we could emulating a 1.44mb floppy.
