That was it.  The floppy had been formatted & verified & bit-pattern-
tested a few months ago and diff'ed against the image after writing, but
somehow it got buggered before I could use it (or while).  Grrrr.
It won't even format now.  :(

Still can't boot 5.0-RC2 (on that box), but I've added my note about
that to another post reporting a very similar problem.
