What's wrong with the boot floppy kernel?  I had no problems with it -- of
course, I switched to the large kernel shortly after installation :-).
If you received a bad boot floppy, call Microport.  My 2.3 upgrade contained
a bad floppy (couldn't read the kernel), and they were very helpful.
They sent out a new floppy, which I received within 3 days.  In the meantime,
they gave me tips on how to install the upgrade without a working boot
floppy.  I thought technical support was both knowledgeable and helpful.
