I was using a plain old floppy; I just made a floppy on a PC with a regular
drive.
BTW, if I use an LS-120 in an already installed machine to write a boot
floppy, that boot floppy works fine in a regular floppy drive, so we're
getting along just fine with the LS-120's 1.44MB format. It just seems not
to work to boot.
I can retest this on about 30 minutes' notice, if anyone has, e.g., a
debugging version of the boot loader they want me to try. I'll even offer
a small bounty for help getting it running, as I'd love to be able to
start replacing old-style floppies in my life. ;)
