Well, I just loop mounted the 27th's floppy image and copied it's
contents to a temporary directory for comparison with the 25th, but
The 25th's floppy image was empty!
And so was the 24th's. That would explain why the disk was ejected
almost immediately after boot; there was no boot code on the disk, for
that matter there was nothing on disk.
Is there something wrong with the build process?
Cheers,
Daniel
