I tried this as adviced. No, BL2 still gives the same problems as BL3. This 
was just a small pet project that I decided to try from general interest. 
That is all, no big deal.

The above command is a learning experience for me. Here are some questions, 
can I format a regular floppy to hold a 2.88 floppy image ? If yes does this 
mean that the whold BL2 will be on a single floppy and I don't need two 
floppies ?

mkisofs -o bl2.iso -b bl2.10-2880.img bl2.10-2880.img
Also, please explain how the above command works ? Why is bl2.10-2880.img 
repeated twice ?

Thanks in advance.

Vijay
