I'm trying to boot from floppy by typing boot floppy (at the new style
prompt) or b floppy (at the old style prompt). In both cases I get the
same error message.

As you request, here you have a couple of lines before the SILO line:

ok boot floppy
Boot device: /fd File and args:
SILO
Fatal eror: Cannot read partition


--- or ---

> b floppy

SILO
Fatal error: Cannot read partition

Thanks for your interest,
