As others have noted, boot.fs is a disk image, not a bootable file. :-)

Also, the syntax varies from version to version. For versions 1 & 2 of OF,
it's disk:filename . In version 3, it's disk:partition#,name.

For instance, ofwboot.xcf on a floppy would be:

fd:ofwboot.xcf in 1 & 2, and (something like) fd:,ofwboot.xcf in 3.

Take care,
