I dumped all of these discs myself using Redump methods (Plextor + Redumper) except for the floppy, which I pulled from the installation disc iso. The floppy booted fine in ct486 but I couldn't get past the "starting linux" screen. Some of the CDs are bootable, but I don't know how to create a bootable PC, haha.

I set everything to supported="partial" since things might not work very well.

FWIW that’s the “virtual floppy” image used for El Torito floppy emulation mode. There’s no guarantee it’s the same as the real supplied floppy.

It actually is a custom version, with a Corel Linux bootup screen. I agree that it might not match the floppy 1:1, but it's probably close to the real thing.
