I don't know how common it is but it happened to me. After going
through about 3 floppies trying to fix the problem I bit the bullet
and installed md5 on my IRIX machine, where I was building the
floppies. After checking the floppy images with md5 I found that one
of them had been corrupted, I guess during the ftp download. So, it
wasn't the floppy, but the image itself that was bad. I downloaded
that particular image again, checked it with md5, made the new floppy
and it worked like a champ!
Just something to check.
Good Luck,
Gary
