Floppy bug?

[danci]

Hello!

I'm using grub-0.5.96.1 and it works perfectly using hard disks.

However, I'd like to create a GRUB boot floppy, so I follow the docs
(grub.info):

        # dd if=stage1 of=/dev/fd0 bs=512 count=1
        1+0 records in
        1+0 records out
        # dd if=stage2 of=/dev/fd0 bs=512 seek=1
        287+1 records in
        287+1 records out

When I try to boot using this floppy disk, I get this:

'GRUB Loading stage2Geom error'

and it all stops here. Any ideas?

   D.

PS: It's a standard PC with 3,5" 1.44MB floppy drive; I even tried several
different machines.
