Well, I have used several new floppy disks, and I have copied kern.flp
from several different ftp sites, always in bin mode, and just used dd to
copy it over to my floppy drive.

Actually, I can't even boot off of my old 3.3 kern.flp, so I'm pretty sure
this a hardware problem on my part.  I'm suspicious that my CPU might be
damaged, do you think that a damaged CPU could prevent me from booting off
of a floppy as described?

Thanks.
