The master would boot by default without the floppy.
Any help is appreciated.
OR you can use a boot manager as with partition magic 6 or whatever. As long as the DOS Drive is configured as the slave, everything works fine. It is my understanding that only the master and slave in the Primary IDE section will boot, but it may vary. You can remove the cover and only put power to one drive or the other to boot to a chosen operating system. Net is the opinions of its users.
