Boot TS - Hard Disk Booted Instead of Floppy Disk

Explanation: The system skipped trying to boot the floppy disk drive and instead went straight to the hard disk.

Diagnosis: This should only happen when the boot sequence is set to be C: before A:. Assuming you didn't get the boot sequence wrong, the floppy disk not being accessed at all implies a problem of some sort with it. The system will continue booting, trying to load the operating system from the hard disk.

Recommendation:

Double-check the boot sequence if appropriate.
If you want to, diagnose the floppy disk drive or its connection.
If you want to continue with the operating system load from the hard disk, proceed here.
