/dev/sda1 should be formatted as msdos. Apply the following procedure:
1) Boot from floppy, login as root.
2) Format /dev/sda1: mkfs -t msdos /dev/sda1
3) Mount MILO floppy: mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy
4) Mount /dev/sda1: mount -t msdos /dev/sda1 /msdos
5) Copy files: cp /mnt/floppy/* /msdos
6) Unmount floppy and /dev/sda1.
