Fresh New potato boot disks from the 2.2.6 boot floppies

[Peter Myers <myersmj@educ.queensu.ca>]

Today I tried  the 2.2.6 boot floppy build  of Sun4cdm 
Rescue.bin on an  LX. I have the exact same "Caught in an endless
loop!" as described for  the SS1, Sun4c  below. The LX I tried
has a floppy, SUN+ external CDROM (Sony CDU-561),  ROM Rev 2.9 + 32Mb
RAM. 850Mb Quantum HD.
The large fonts look good here.

Re-tried on Sun4c again with the same result. Will download boot floppy images again to see if I have a problem with the disks themselves.
Any suggestions?
