Formatting //dev/fd0 for bootdisk

[Sebastian Canagaratna <s-canagaratna@onu.edu>]

I recently installed kernel 2.4.8 and the compilation went
fine. To test it before actually changing from my previous
version I did a dd if=bzImage of=/dev/fd0 bs=8192 using
a Imation floppy 2.0MB, High density formatted with 
superformat /dev/fd0 hd

On using this diskette to boot up, there is a failure.

WHne I format the diskette with superformat /dev/fd0u1440
the boot disk works OK.

I have used the superformat /dev/fd0 hd to create floppy disks
for storiong files.

What is going on here?

Thanks.
