It boots fine from floppy but I cannot get it to boot from the HD after copying the kernel to it. I can direct the floppy to load the kernel from the HD but each time I try to boot it from the HD direct, I get the message "Missing Operating System". The PC has previously had MS-DOS 6.2 on the HD. Any Ideas?
