I booted 1.4.1 from rx23 on my vs3100/m30. But I had to "fake" an rx33-
floppy to do it (don't ask me why).

What I did was pad the three "extra" sectors on every track with
zero's.

I.e. 'split' the bootdisk image in 80 pieces, 'cat' 3*512 bytes to the
end of every piece and 'cat' all the pieces together again to a 1.44MB
image.
