I cannot get my dos 6.22 floppys to boot
anymore. I insert disk one, and after showing the
BIOS settings, it reads from the disk, says
"Starting MS-DOS..." or whatever the normal
phrase is, then after 2 or 3 seconds, the drive
activity light goes out, and the system just sits
there. I know my bios settings are set to allow
floppy booting, and if I insert my NetBSD or
OpenBSD boot floppy at startup, it boots from
those disk fine. What the heck is going on? I've
tried new DOS 6.22 disks, and that doesn't work
either. HELP PLEASE!!!!
