Problem with 1.2 install and floppy

[Jean Pierre LeJacq <jplejacq@quoininc.com>]

I'm running into problems with installing Debian 1.2 on a
new laptop.  I've created the various floppy disks, start
the installation and get the following errors when I insert
base14-1.bin:

   end_request: I/O error, dev 02:00, sector 0
   floppy0: probe failed...

The problem occurs when the installation scripts tries to
excecute the following command:

   mount -ro -t msdos /dev/fd0 /floppy

The floppy clearly worked fine reading the first two disks.

Any ideas?
