Okay, thank you.  =)  Must've missed that one, sorry...

I did exactly what it said to make a disk bootable - exact same result as
before (disk w/question mark).  I tried it with 'boot wd0:0' and 'boot
wd0' both which do the exact same thing.

Is there any possibility that I could somehow boot the kernel off of the
floppy drive and have it use my root partition (/dev/wd0a) like in
Linux/LILO where you go:

LILO boot: linux root=/dev/hda3 ro

(for example).
