An ERD is not meant to be a bootable disk. For a floppy to successfully boot
Windows NT the disk must contain the "NT" boot sector. Format a diskette (on
an NT machine, not a DOS/Win9x, so the NT boot sector gets written to the
floppy), and copy ntldr, ntdetect.com, and boot.ini to it; and possibly
ntbootdd.sys. Edit the boot.ini to give it a correct ARC path for the
machine you wish to boot.
