I have found the culprit: it was a bad floppy disk! The media was
physically defective and was causing I/O errors. Once I put a good
floppy in it, everything worked fine. How embarrassing! Thanks to
all who replied, and sorry for the noise.
My wife's old computer (a tower sitting on the floor in a cabinet)
once wouldn't boot, and for the life of me I couldn't figure out
why. So I bought her a new PC.
A year later, I looked at the old PC at just the correct angle and
saw a disk in the floppy drive...
*That* was embarrassing!
