In what way test? You mean boot from them? > I've tried to assign the B drive to the 1st floppy and A to the 2nd > one, and attempted to boot the B drive so that it mounted the A.

I'ts usually done the other way around. :) You have to give some parameters to lilo (if that's what you have on the boot floppy) to pass to the kernel when you mount the filesystem from the second floppy. It's in the docs. Something like LILO boot:mount root=/dev/fd1 if memory serves. > Also I can't try it with a real floppy drive because my box lacks of it, I thought these were virtual floppies, files that you were mounting so plex86 treats them as DOS floppies? 73, Ged.
