The format was ok, I used the same floppies with dd under Linux
(after patching the floppy driver). Out of curiousity I have now
tested Benni's suggestion, and it works.  So it seems that rawwrite
has a problem writing disks formatted with Kobold. Could this be
caused by the extra sector headers that Kobold creates to speed
up floppy access?

Anyway, it's not the kind of problem that must be solved, a
short remark in the installation guide would be sufficient.
