performa 6360 floppy boot issues



Hi, I'm new on the list and have an issue I hope someone can help me with.  

I have a performa 6360 with the 160mhx 603e proc, openfirmware version
2.0.  When I attempt to boot off of either the rescue.img or the
floppy-boot-hfs.img i get either "boot FD: can't LOAD from this
device" or "boot  can't OPEN: fd:0" respectively.

 I have downloaded and, using ntrawrite in XP, created the 5 disk
floppy set for my machine.  My enviroment is set to real-base F00000,
load-base 600000, boot-device fd:0, boot-file linux.bin

I've tried using the old ofwboot.xfs from my previous install to as
the boot file for my floppy with no success.  I should also mention I
have wiped out all traces of macos 7 from this machine as well and it
has been running that beautifully for a couple years.  I know that if
I can get one of these floppies recognized I'll be on my way could
someone lend some advice as to what I'm missing,  I've been al over
the bsd install notes and the debian install notes and haven't found
anything helpful yet.

Thanks for the assistance,

Jason
