Comments/Problems:
bootfloppy-image.img boots correctly, but at the "Insert the second floppy
or plug in a USB storage device" prompt, pressing Return doesn't cause the
second floppy to be found, and just repeats the prompt.
Under our existing Linux install, the floppy drive appears as:
hdc: LS-120 SLIM4 AD UHD Floppy, ATAPI FLOPPY drive
