I DID check the manual.  For my version, 2.13, you can boot the system up
normally, and then insert the FS disk in drive A.  For an EGA, you use the
e parameter after the program name, .i.e.

	fs e

When I reconfigured by autoexec.bat and config.sys to be as vanilla as possible,with only ansi.sys loaded, fs ran fine.
