You probably have a raw kernel image on the floppy (no filesystem at
all).  Try "rdev /dev/fd0" you should get back something like "Root
device /dev/hda1" if you have a kernel image there.

You're probably better off using lilo or another boot loader to boot
of the HD, boot ing from floppy is Soooooooooo tedious :)
