[syslinux] Large Floppy Images

I am still unable to build and boot large floppy images.

1.44, 2.88, and any size HD images work great.  No problem.  However I have
BIOSes with problems booting HD images and would like to get large floppy
working.

I have tried every script and method I could find with PC DOC 7 and MS DOS
6.22.  I have spent too much time analyzing boot sectors.

So a few questions:

1.  Who has actually see it work?
2.  How did you make the image?  Assume nothing, the more detail the better.
3.  Can you provide a URL to a large floppy image?  I cannot tell if I have
a BIOS problem or an image creation problem.  I'd just like to see one boot.
An ideal image would be blank with COMMAND.COM only.

Thanks.
