The last time I got an address mark not found error, it was because the
image was too big to fit on the disk (because I had forgotten to
download the file in binary form so it expanded). I doubt if you could
boot off of such an image so it is probably because you are writing a
hopefully good image to too small of a disk. Are you sure you
formatted this disk as either a 1.2MB 5.25" or a 1.4MB 3.5"?
