1) This belongs on -questions, not on -bugs.

2) You used the wrong floppy image. boot.flp is too large to fit on a
   regular floppy (it's intended for LS120s and CD-ROMs). Try using
   kern.flp and mfsroot.flp instead (on two separate disks, of
   course).

3) This would have been immediately obvious to you had you read the
   accompanying documentation.
