Hi!

Have you tried using 2.88 floppy images?

They are standard and I think most BIOSes support them correctly.

p.s. in Windows you can convert your 1.68 to 2.88 without loosing boot with
winimage.

From: John Plunkett

When Syslinux is used with floppy disks with a 1.44 MB format the boot
proceeds at a good speed with no problems.  When a format over 1.44 MB is
used, the boot takes up to ten minutes.  Is there a special setting for
booting from floppy disks over 1.44 MB's? Is there documentation on how to
configure with floppy disks with a format over 1.44 MB's?

Thanks,
