 - Boot CD doesn't work when floppy drive is not present or is disabled in BIOS.
   I found out, that this 'error' appears on few a PC's (on my PC also). When it happens, FreeDOS is trying
   to boot, but is using CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT from hard drive with FAT file system.
   I am looking for solution with FreeDOS (with other OS i didn't got this error).
   It seems to be the BIOS and FreeDOS error.
   Let me know if somebody has the solution.
