I am using the port (put the dir up at
http://trooper.velocet.net/~dgilbert/etherboot).

It is the latest version, but I can't write the floppy on that
machine... so I copy it to the machine that has a floppy (very few of
our machines actually have floppies ... it's just not a
priority)... and cut it there.  I've used a number of floppies, using
new floppy drives, actually... and I've used those floppies to boot
whole BSD boot disks.
