Has anyone actually succeeded in booting boot.flp (2.88 MB diskimage)
through VMWare using a file floppy?

Even though the BIOS setting on VMware Workstation shows there is a
support of 2.88MB floppy, VMware says that it supports up-to two
1.44MB floppy.

It seems that's why you fail to boot with boot.flp.
