This situation was found in the SLS 1.02 release and having not
tried SLS 1.03 I don't know if it is the same. But if you copy
a1.3 to a 5.25 disk or a1.5 to a 3.5 disk then it wouldn't boot
and you would get LIL. So only use a1.3 and a1.5 as follows
a1.3 copy to 3.5 inch disk
a1.5 copy to 5.25 inch disk
If this has changed with SLS 1.03 I can't help.
