I'll spare everyone from the deluge of replies to this thread. To
summarize many people could not reproduce the problem while quite a few
could obtain the dreaded BSoD under NT with all kind of floppies (Sun and
Solaris boot disks, Mac disks, floppies with lots of CRC errors, etc).

Some people commented the problems went away with SP3, other continue to
experience them. Some blammed it on antivirus scanners that read the disk
when it is inserted.

If you have a disk with which you can reproduce the problem under SP3 with
different types of hardware mail it to Microsoft along with a description
of you hardware.
