Well, what went wrong? 

My guess is that you either:

1.  Downloaded the boot floppy image using Netscape or in ASCII mode.  Use
ftp in binary mode.

2.  Trying to copy the image to the floppy instead of RAWRITEing or
FDIMAGEing the image.  These programs are available in the tools/
directory; use them to write the image to the disk.
