Read the README.TXT file. You'll find that
boot.flp was split into kernel.flp and mfsroot.flp
and the boot.flp was retained for 2.88 disks
and Imation SuperDisks.

-- 
   No pig should go sky diving during monsoon
   For this isn't really the norm.
   But should a fat swine try to soar like a loon,
   So what?  Any pork in a storm.

   No pig should go sky diving during monsoon,
   It's risky enough when the weather is fine.
   But to have a pig soar when the monsoon doth roar
   Cast even more perils before swine.
