You most likely have a 72065/compatible floppy controller.  2.0R had a
serious brokeness with those controllers, leading to a total inability
to read floppies with it.

Your best bet is using a newer release, the second one to change the
floppy controller (at least for installation).

Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
