Just thought I'd share with the list how I resolved this problem.
Apparently you can not create a 1.2 boot disk for RH. You can install
RH from a dos partition. What I did was create a small dos partition
(25M), boot to dos, mount the cdrom and execute
d:\dosutils\autoboot.bat, which boots the Linux installation via
loadlin. I'll go back and make the dos partition another swap
partition, although I don't know how useful it will be at that size.
So, you can install RH on a computer with a 1.2 floppy. :)
