Show the command line that you are using to invoke mkautoinstalldiskette.

It's likely that the image you're trying to put down on floppy
is too large.

Trying writing the disk image out to a file instead of /dev/fd0 
which is the default.  Then you can check its size and report back
here.

I'm assuming you're trying to create a custom image and the content
you're put in is too large.  Try removing some stuff from your 
image.

Aha, that might be it.  The floppy should not be mounted when you do this.
Try umounting the floppy, then run the command.
