No, because the floppy probing is intentionally disabled. It just hangs up on some Compaq machines. See this bug: https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=489 As I said there, Thierry's approach is the best. His patch allows the user to embed a fixed gemeotry into a floppy, and it is not integrated. Honestly speaking, I'm not keen to fixing this bug, because it will introduce an incompatibility in the format of stage1, and few people use uncommon formats of floppies actually.
