Can you (fdformat or superformat) the root floppy without errors?
# fdformat /dev/fd0u1440
# cp partroot-1.6.1.img /dev/fd0
To boot the "part" system on the second disk, just press enter.
boot:
Loading kernel...ready
kernel boot messages...
VFS: Insert the root floppy disk (at this point remove the boot
floppy and insert the root floppy, then press enter).
RAMDISK: Compressed image found at block 0 (about 15-30 seconds
from this point the system should be loaded).
boot: part foo=boo "If you want to pass options to the kernel!"
For more options press the F1 key.
