Solve : Boot installed MS-DOS from diskette?

Answer»

Hi!

I have installed MS-DOS 7.10.
Bootloader is overwritten by my choice.
I need to BOOT installed MS-DOS from diskette - simply start on diskette and reroute after boot begin to installed DOS on C:\
I tried it and no success - it looks like rerouted but also with full path commands it always reads files on floppy.

Needs it change %path% variable or anything similar?

Thank you for help.
MiroIs this an empty HDD ? ?  is it set to primary / active ? ?
Did you sys the C:drive if all above has been done ? ?Hi!

I'm sorry for delay.
It is drive with MS-DOS 7.10 on first partition.
SYS C: rewrites boot sector and I want to leave boot sector untouched (it was configured for second OS - OSX86, I know, you maybe don't believe, but works).
I need to start from floppy for this reason:
1. boot of OSX don't recognizes DOS, it is visible only as Foreign OS.
2. DOS from floppy starts, but it is REQ'd to run autoexec.bat again after DOS boot to have environment active.
3. floppy always runs autoexec.bat from itself, I need to switch to use autoexec.bat on C:\

MiroWell good luck to ya...you cant do it the way you want to with OSX.
All your issues you post here seem to have a common theme..."I wanna do what i can;t"...It's old Apple computer running OSX Tiger 10.4 with built-in floppy.
It is old OSX using yet supporting UniBin and it is for my hobby. DOS is my primary target.

I need to help only with DOS booting, nothing about Apple.
Both SYSTEMS working, I need to avoid starting DOS manually after skip loading some drivers.

Whole Q is in title.
