It turns out to be a media error on the disk (though MS-DOG's chkdisk didn't catch it). I made a fresh boot disk and it worked just fine. However....(you knew there had to be a however, right? )... an FTP install of 2.1R went smoothly and upon trying to reboot, I'm confronted with: DISK NOT READY please insert floppy in drive A (or somesuch) During the install I chose the easy boot option. Did I miss something? There were no error messages during the install (installed the "Developer" dist). Sigh...
