I haven't heard of this in some time, but some BIOS's in some 486 and
early Pentiums would not read a floppy >1.44MB correctly. On a WAG,
it appears that this could easily be your problem. The only way to 
identify this is attempting to boot a true 1.44MB image and seeing if
it actual works. If so, there is no fix for the BIOS that I am aware of.
