Yep.  The only successful operating system installs I've had on B: recently
are where the operating system is already installed, and you have an upgrade.
 The DOS 6.22 upgrade lets you type A or B:setup.

It seems like most programs that cause your computer to reboot, or any
program that loads from a boot has to be in your A drive.
