If you are using PC-DOS 3.20 or SOME versions of MS-DOS 3.21, you can
include the DRIVPARM command in your CONFIG.SYS with the appropriate
flags (which are the same as those for DRIVER.SYS).

If you can't use DRIVPARM, why not use the DRIVER.SYS device driver
supplied with DOS?  Put the following line in your CONFIG.SYS:

	DEVICE=<path>DRIVER.SYS /D:n /F:p /H:q /T:r /S:s

where <path> is the path to the file DRIVER.SYS (C:\ if it's in root),
n is the drive number (0 for A:, 1 for B:, etc.), p is the "form
factor" (2 for a 720K drive, or 7 for a 1.44 Meg), q is the number of
heads (2), r is the number of tracks per side (80 for a 3.5 inch
drive), and s is the number of sectors per track (9 for a 720K drive,
or 16 for a 1.44 Meg).

Also, I'm not certain about this, but I believe that the CMOS RAM
information has to be set to one less drive than is actually on the
system.
