Right.

Right.

I tried it with no success. In fact, the boot/loader in the disk was
identical to the one in the floppy.
The problem seems to be rather in the first stage bootstrap program,
which does not recognize the disk and, hence, cannot find /boot/loader.
When I boot from the floppy, an lsdev at the boot prompt shows only:
disk @ 0x2001d340
disk0: SRM drive DVA 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
The weird thing is that the kernel does recognize the disk.
