I put together a 2-floppy BL3.50 with framebuffer kernel that is supposed 
to boot to 800x600 framebuffer text screen.

I installed disk1 to a 100% good DOS-formatted floppy disk, in linux with 
dd, after running floppymeter and correcting for deviation -210 (my best 
floppy drive).  I also tried installing it in DOS with rawrite.

When I try to boot I get Error: 0x09, which I cannot find in the archives.

BL3.50 without framebuffer kernel works fine.  (Unless the disk is bad, 
then I get error 0x10).

I tried in several computers.  My disks work on the computer where I made 
the original files, but not on much else.

Any ideas?  I wanted to use the framebuffer BL3.50 to test some LCD 
monitors.  They won't do 800x600 (vga=788) mode or Mplayer in svga mode, 
and the three I looked at so far have ugly text like on some laptops.
Are there brands that look better in text (including framebuffer text)?

I can move the monitors to the computer with ext2 BL.
