I'm testing Windows 95 floppy images in Virtualbox and first step of installation goes well (it uses 29 floppies 1.44m format), but after rebooting it tries to install network drivers and doesn't see them even if I mount the correct floppy.
It gives error "The file 'netapi.dll' on Windows 95 Disk 2 could not be found".
Details show: "The following error occurred: 'The device was not ready' (error #15)".

After unpacking precopy2.cab that file is there. It shows same error even if I manually extract netapi.dll to separate floppy image.
Is this a problem with Virtualbox, or with the Windows itself?
