Strange, that floppy image has been the base for (literally) thousands
of installations in our environment. Does it work if you try it with a
different model?
I'm wondering if the image has been modified along the way, perhaps some
kind of antivirus? The image file should be 666846 bytes and the md5sum
is 966bd3643d6a428970a492a38f513430.

HPA said this when we discovered that 3.62-pre7 is the first version
that doesn't work on my GX280: "Yep, definitely the putting labels in
high memory stuff."
Cheers,
