Sorry about that. I forgot to mention that I have a Buslogic BT445S
VLB SCSI card and the floppy controller is connected to it. This
machine has no IDE disks.

This floppy worked fine I was able to boot the floppy and load the
kernel on the floppy. I was also able to boot the floppy and load the
kernel on my first SCSI disk and boot into single user mode.

I just wanted to verify that it worked on this machine before I
updated it. Thanks for the help.
