I have a 1.44 meg 3 1/2" floppy drive installed in my XT Clone using
Western Digital's FOX 4 card. My problem is the machine will not boot
from the 1.44 floppy drive. I have Phoenix Bios Ver 2.52 (I think) and
MS-DOS 3.3.

Any suggestions on how to boot from this drive (recognized as b: by the
system) will be greatly appreciated. It is not a major problem but I
would like the info anyway.

Thanks in advance.
