If you're trying to do this on an ultra you're out of luck.
The floppies won't work, mostly due to some brain damage on the part of
the floppy-controler.
Ultra 1s seem to be able to pull of a floppy boot, but only if you're
lucky... it's very picky about it's disk. (I know, had to use some 10
disks to manage it a while back for only a rescue+root disk; now the
floppy-drive is dead altogether :( )

Thomas
