You need the 801 boot image.
Reason is the HDD drive is embedded in the bios which is part of the
initial load image.
CP/M did the BIOS or hardware abstraction from the base OS but the BIOS
on most CP/M
was a loaded image and very specific to the system in use. In that
respect it was very
unlike PCs where the BIOS was in Eprom/rom

I recently acquired a Televideo TS-801. It's a
typical Z80 CP/M system.
I've have it restored to where it is trying to boot. It "says" that it
is in the process of "IPLing" the system and the left drive is selected.
I couldn't find any TS-801 boot images, but based on CC archives, I saw
that Televideo TS-802 floppy images will work as well.
I downloaded TS-802(H) images from Dave Dunfield's site - but they
expect a HDD - and fail booting...
Does someone have an CP/M boot image for the floppy based TS-801 or
TS-802? If so, I'd appreciate a copy off list or link to same on or off
list.
Thanks!
