Rumor has it that Richard Erlacher may have mentioned these words:
I know what you mean. I've made the shift from DOS
6.20 to 6.22 a couple of
itmes. What, by the way, is DOS 6.3?
IBM marketed a PC-DOS 6.3 with Stacker and some other stuff, IIRC.
Personally, for the boot stuff, I'd just stick to a boot floppy... boot the
computer from your PC-DOS disk 1, and if it goes into a setup routine, hit
<F3> (well, for MS-DOS... not sure if it's different with IBM's stuff) and
when you get to the dos prompt, if you have two floppies, put a floppy in
your B: and do a:
format b: /s (to put the system on.)
If you don't have 2 floppies, issue that command anyway. With a 1 floppy
system, you have a *virtual* B: and the system will automatically ask you
for source and destination disks when it wants you to swap them.
