Tried again... same result. I onced helped someone else with a similar problem, I suggested he boot dos copy root.bin, linux, loadin.exe and base.tgz to a dos directory and execute loadlin linux initrd=root.bi then mount the dos partition once linux has loaded to get access to the base.tgz. The problem with the floppy only occure during kernel boot for him so this worked. I think it was slightly different, though.. Not sure..
