Thanks Bruce.  I need to take some time off to study about grub boot 
floppies a bit more.  Nothing seems to work as expected and  I need to 
get into the basics a bit more.  I've run into problems such as 
/etc/fstab not having entries for floppies that should be there.   Very 
frustating......
The funny thing is, I had no problem getting 6 different Linux systems 
working.  They all boot and run properly but I get hung up on making a 
boot floppy.
