Yes, if you got to the point where it prompted you for boot methods, etc,
you're doing fine. 'floppy0' is the first floppy (A:), so that's okay also.
It sounds like the base14-1.bin floppy is bad. I'd try a different disk,
and 'rawrite2' it again with the base14-1.bin image. You might even want to
download that image again; it may be that the image itself was bad instead
of the floppy (but I doubt it, or rawrite2 would have choked).
