It's a SS2 (PROM rev. 2.4.1).

Aarrgh. It works now even with my old bootdisk (silo 0.8.6) :-((
It seems my floppy drive is not reliable at all.
This trial was made just after I powered up my SS2, whereas the last time it
failed was after many hours of uptime.
Ok, I waited some time (about 1 hour) then tried again. Now I get the
following message:
Press <ENTER> to boot!
boot:
Uncompressing image...

Read error on block 222

Sorry, it's too late to do more tests... maybe next week.
Regards.
