When booting with TOS 1.4, if you wish to boot from floppy you should wait
until the floppy light comes on the _second_ time before pressing ALT+SHIFT+
CONTROL.  That is, the floppy light will come on (briefly, if a formatted
floppy is inserted), go out, then come back on.  Don't press ALT+SHIFT+CONTROL
until the second time the light comes on.  Works 100% for me....
