Follow-up Comment #5, bug #17653 (project grub):
Can you please build GRUB 2 with the attached patch, boot from it, and use
the (now modified) "ls" command to determine the number of sectors your BIOS
reports that these "fake" floppies have?
If they have more than 2880 we can probably add a workaround.
Thanks
(file #14677)
