Don't have a spare floppy to put on it.  I can (and did) boot 2.2.8 on it
tho.

Here's the register dump:

int=0000000e  err=00000000  efl=00010046  eip=00009548
eax=c05b302d  ebx=c05bafa4  ecx=00008c08  edx=00000002
esi=c05bb000  edi=00001933  ebp=00000000  esp=0c5baf94
cs=0008  ds=0010  es=0010  fs=0010  gs=0010  ss=0010
cs:eip=ac c8 31 00 00 00 fe c9-74 0c b0 2d 80 f9 08 74
ss:esp=10 00 00 00 d8 96 00 00-18 92 00 00 00 18 00 00
System halted
