Okay, stupid me, my fault. I booted the on the rescue floppy disk again,
ran "fdisk", created a primary partition, ran 'format c:', now it
works !

But it asks me for a serial number..... I have looong lost it ! :-/
Does any one have one at hand ? It's for 95, not sure if it's OSR2 or
not though...

Thanks ! :-)
