Solve : Is possible to perform boot by command??

Answer»

Hi!

I have two diskettes which I want to boot from.
Installed is MS-DOS 6.22, diskette 1 is MS-DOS 7.10 Super Boot Disk and diskette 2 is CP/M86 1.1.

In case of MSD7.10 is possible to start AUTOEXEC.BAT - but after starting it outputs incorrect DOS version.
In case of CP/M is not possible to do anything 'cause CP/M uses other filesystem.
Both disks have boot-sector written.

My wish is to PERFORM boot from floppy by command - without true reboot.
Is it by any way possible?

Thank you for patience.
MiroI was SEARCHING the web and found NOTHING correct.
Simple example of my Q is in retrocomputing - my hobby:

Commodore 128 came with new BASIC 7.0 with new command: BOOT
At power on or reset it searches for boot sector on diskette.
This process is possible to call by two ways:
1. Call boot procedure in ROM
2. use BOOT COMAND, even with options:
BOOT, drive, UNIT
- drive is for dual floppies (0 or 1)
- unit is number of floppy unit in filesystem (8-30 > similar or DOS/WIN A--Z)

Something similar I need to find.
MiroI'm not aware of any method by which this would be possible with MS-DOS. There are programs that can reboot but they do effectively the same thing as Control-Alt-Delete.
