Sorry, I do mean the 2.4 floppies give the same results at the
2.6 floppies.

Yes. Just now, I downloaded the 2.4 images under OS 9.2 on the
PowerBook and attempted to make boot and root floppies with the
Make Debian Floppies script. The boot disc made OK; the root
floppy gave me an error about root.bin not being a valid disc
image. I tried to boot with the boot floppy anyway--same as
before.
I then took this floppy to the machine which I had been using to
make the discs before, dd'd it to an image file, and compared
this image to a downloaded image. No difference.

Nope.

I guess that's the next step, but I was under the impression
netboot doesn't work on Old World.
