Kevin, was the floppy successfully formatted (in DOS or Windows) prior to
using rawwrite. 
Also, I do know that the Ygdrassil release only supported a 720KB formatred
floppy for booting the kernel. I do know that Slackware 2.0 kernels use a
1.44MB formatted floppy. (I am assuming 3.5in media).

Another possibility, though remote, is that the media type is incorrect in
the bios. I doubt that this is your problem, but I wanted to put out the
info to avoid more messages.
