My understanding is that when I boot from this floppy, Lilo will start and help me select the jaz as where Linux is. But when I try to boot from the generated floppy, I got garbage 1's and zeros on the screen. I repeated that several time. What I am doing wrong?. I went through your documentation and Howto...etc on the jaz, nothing helps

Suggest you use loadlin instead as using lilo with removable devices is
NOT recommended (by me at least).
