Grub keeps failing to install to floppy disk

[sandman887]

I'm toward the end of an installation of 17.10 on an older computer, and I need to install the bootloader onto a floppy disk, which it says it can do. So I specify /dev/fd0, but it keeps failing, and I've tried several disks. How can I do this?

Thanks in advance

Have you considered chainloading from Plop?

Sorry for the late reply. No, I haven't. I'll try that. Thanks for the suggestion.
