Yes, other bootable floppies boot.  I can boot MS-DOS, etc.  

In fact the FreeBSD bootstrap loads from the floppy, but the  hardware
discovery doesn't list the floppy drive as present, so it can't load the
kernel from the floppy.  This is as far as it gets in the boot process.

This is an ALR Evolution V desktop system, ALR VL local bus motherboard,
Phoenix BIOS, Pentium 60 64 MB RAM, Teac 1.44 floppy disk, Adaptec VL SCSI
board with 2 SCSI hard disks 2 SCSI CD-ROMs 1 SCSI tape drive, NO IDE devices.
