I have run into a similar problem with a Premier 386/33 system.  It uses
a deriative of the AMI BIOS.  Can create/access the disk from the floppy
just fine, but it will not boot at all.  Near as I can tell, it has something
to do with the motherboard BIOS, but as soon as I figure it out, I'll post.
