Comments/Problems:

System consists of laptop with usb floppy drive.

I can boot from the bootfloppy-image.img, but I can't get it
to read the root disk (floppy-image.img).  Tried unplugging
and re-plugging in the floppy drive.

Workaround is to install Woody from
  http://www-user.rhrk.uni-kl.de/~blochedu/usb-install/images/

and dist-upgrade.
