Not quite. I broke the installation at that point. The floppy was NOT mounted.
That's the first thing I checked...

Sorry to hear that you went to so much trouble no to be able to help me at

Seriously, I DO appreciate your help. I found the problem myself. The

Basically, I made a type while editing the partition maps. 

OOPS.

It works now that I re-partitioned the disk.
