I think the floppy images are corrupt

not 100% sure yet, but I think our images are broken:

  I tried writing it to four different floppies, and booting them
on two different computers, and always got i/o errors.

  furthermore,  I copied the netbsd.gz file on the floppy to /tmp
  then:
        gunzip /tmp/netbsd.gz
        vnconfig -t floppy vnd0 /tmp/netbsd
                (I got a vnd0: no disk label warning)
        mount /dev/vnd0a /mnt2
                (I got mount_ffs: /dev/vnd0d on /mnt2: incorrect super block

 I think the image is bad, but I'm not completely sure I did the right
thing, so if anybody has a comment to add....
