[comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware] Booting from B: drive

jdb@reef.cis.ufl.edu (Brian K. W. Hook) (02/21/91)

I have a 386 with a 3.5" B drive and a 5.25" A drive...how do I get to 
boot off of the B: drive?

1.  Assign, of course, won't work since the system has to have been booted
before running it...

2.  Can't put anything in config.sys (since you would be booting off of 
whatever device had the config.sys file in it)

3.  Subst won't work (same reason as assign)


The disk I am using is Wizardry, and it requires to be booted off of itself
sinec it uses its own operating system.  I don't want to do this in
hardware since I would then be foreced to keep my system open to swap
cables!
