Thisproblem was dealt with by an article in STart a year or so back.
They told you how to create a floppy that would always be booted from
even in systems where the normal booting is from the hard disk and
even if there was no procedure for forcing a boot from floppy.
I now have such a floppy (even though I don't need it because I can force
the floppy boot via Control-Shift_Alternate.


Don't exactly remember how it was done.
