Might I suggest that you read the a boot record from a system
enabled floopy and disassemble it. It will contian the information
you need.
One thing I thought of doing was to program the boot record to load
the systems files off the 'C' drive, thus saving time. But, I boot
off floppies so rarely, that it's never been worthwhile to pursue it.
good luck!
