Would a command like: dd if=boot.img of=/dev/fd0 bs=2K <cr> be correct for making debian floppy disks? If so, I've probably got four bad disks on this end tooo. Rarely have I ever gotten a good boot.img disk and when I have, the root.img is bad. I'm having problems on an old Dell computer with these disks this time but could do an install attempt on a Gateway machine to see if they'll likely work on that machine though.
