boot floppy fails on different machine

[Peter Baxendale]

Hi,

I've built grub-0.92 from the sources using my much updated Redhat 7.1
(binutils-2.10.91.0.2-3) Pentium 3 box, copied stage1 and stage2 to a
floppy and when I boot from the floppy I get the grub prompt. So far so
good.

When I put the same floppy in my old 486 and reboot it hangs forever
with the floppy access light on, no messages of any kind. The floppy
works fine normally (boots basic-linux ok, etc).

What have I missed?

Thanks,
Peter.
