I see, my apologies. Wonder if there is a utility out that could go in the
MBR of HDA and give a boot menu? Show up like disk manager and offer which
disk to boot from. Or, maybe you could design a floppy that would do
exactly that.
Ah, load win95 on HDA and Dos on HDB then setup a DOS boot floppy with the
path statement pointing to HDB directories. Put your config.sys and
Autoexec on that but by pointing all drivers and the path and other TSRs or
etc to the Dos drive, then switch to that drive as the last command in
Autoexec.bat.
Would that work?
If you convert HDB to FAT32 (OSR2 or newer only) then DOS won't read it and
won't see it, so won't try to use it.
Boot with no floppy is win, with floppy is DOS.
