 Have same problem here. It's 100% repeatable.
 
 Hardware: Adaptec UW SCSI card, 4GB Ultra Wide IBM SCSI Disc, Intel
 440LX motherboard.
 
 What happens:
 1. makeflp formats floppy fine.
 2. However when writing image file it gives 'sector not found.'
 3. Floppy is complete unusable afterwards and needs to be reformatted.
 
 Things tried:
 1. Tried a few floppies. All behave the same.
 2. Swapped floppy drive, didn't help.
 3. Download newest Intel BIOS, didn't help.
 
 Finally I ran makeflop on an NT machine and booted the new machine with
 that floppy. I'm trying to install FreeBSD on it right now.
