Summary: what is wrong with

I can't get any of the snapshot boot.flp to boot.  They just spin for 
awhile with the drive light on, then reboot the machine.  I have used
new floppies so I know the media is reliable.  I have tried disabeling
the caches and no luck.  The odd part is that I did a rawrite for the 
2.0 dist boot_144.flp and it works fine. Any ideas?
