Almost a me too:
On a Compaq Armada 1750 with 2.4.3-20mdk (as installed from Mandrake 8.0):
dd if=/boot/grub/stage1 of=/dev/fd0 bs=512 seek=1 reports back: dd: /dev/fd0: Invalid argument
On the same laptop with 2.4.11-pre5 the same command barfs with: dd: /dev/fd0: Permission denied
On a P180 w/ 2.4.10-pre13: dd: /dev/fd0: Permission denied
In the first kernel the floppy driver is compiled as a module. Without the seek=1 (or whatever number there) it works in all cases.
I thought it was something that had to do with my drives but seeing your report makes me wonder. Perhaps sombody more knowledgeable can comment...
-K.
