Are you sure the problem was the Pentium vs the 386?  This is much more
likely to be differences in alignment in the floppy drives involved
than having anything to do with the particular CPUs on the different
machines(particularly given you're just RAWRITing supplied disk
images).  I've made Slackware boot disks on a Pentium machine and used
the disk to install on a 386 before without problems.
