I am having the new install disk run this program between disk swaps on its
own. I am also changing the format of the installation floppies so that they
will be self-verifying, which should point out any problems a bit more quickly.
It would be interesting to know if your floppy-change switch is bad or not.
I haven't seen this on a laptop before.
If it is, you should be able to dd in a floppy, remove the disk from the drive,
and then dd in at least part of the floppy (from the buffer cache). If the
switch is OK it should complain right away.

Yeah, that's OK.
