Usually the BIOS doesn't complain when the floppy isn't bootable; it just jumps over to the hard disk. Try using a brand-new, error free floppy and re-write the image. If you are using Win95, dig out your old DOS boot floppy and run rawrite under that. Win95 interferes with the floppy drive enough to mess up rawrite.
