2.5.68 using root floppy: blk: request botched

[ragnar sjoberg]

If loading kernel 2.5.68 from boot floopy,
and changing disk when prompted, to root floppy, it starts to load the root fs from floppy but stop with:
blk: request botched

the root floppy is built (on 2.4.20 machine) using these commands:

dd if=/dev/zero of=./root.fs bs=1k count=1400
mkfs -t ext2 -N 200 -m 0 ./root.fs
mount -o loop ./root.fs ./root
cp -a $root_contents/* ./root
umount ./root
dd if=./root.fs of=/dev/fd0 bs=1k

thanks for any info on this.

Ragnar
