At a guess ;) I would say at cyl 1 head 1 sector 15. Try making a new cpio floppy on a 100% error free floppy. I've come to the hard learned conclusion that 3M pre-formated guarantee'd floppies are worth the extra $$$ . I've been ash-canning a lot of cheapo generics lately. It probably wouldn't hurt to run one of those head cleaning disks thru your floppy drive either.
