Cross-compiling the boot floppies is not recommended. You need to get
someone to get the boot-floppies source, add the patch, and build a custom
install floppy.

It seems the chip is the problem, and the symptoms support this. The boot
disk mis-identifies the chip.

Dunno - more to the point is - do you trust any of us enough to have us
build a hacked install floppy for you?
