I get this with a clean build from today's sources, no options:

Stop.

[and so on]

Funny thing is, it worked fine just a couple of days ago.

Should we bump the size of the single floppies to 1440? Does anyone
still have a working 1.2 Mb floppy drive? (I actually have one of
those, but it's on a system that can't boot from the second floppy
drive, and I'm not even sure it still works at all, as it's been a
few years since I've come across any media for it.)
