last time I checked, my floppies were 1.44Mb. I just did:

  dd if=kern.flp of=/dev/rfd0

and it went off without a hitch. Are you getting specific errors when trying
to make floppies that you can share? If so, then we can probably help out.

Please tell us how you were trying to make the boot floppies. 

good luck,
