I booted atapi.flp yesterday (the newer version of Oct 6th)
and had no problems booting it. I don't have an IDE/ATAPI drive though
in that system. Just used atapi.flp since it starts with letter 'a' and thus
arrived earlier than boot.flp :-) (daytime ftp rates ti the US are horrible
here in Germany at the moment)
