From: "Frank Haber" I looked at an XP Home SP1 boot floppy #1. It's a standard 512-byte-sector 1.4MB twin-FAT12 floppy, IDing itself as "MSDOS 5.0," but there's no DOS on it. The boot loader seems to be looking for NTLDR and SETUPDLRBIN. BTW, it won't boot on a 486DX2 (looking for CPUID function, etc.).
