Hello again...

It seems the updates to b.com have caused some problems.  A floppy
created with disk/format with the new b.com boots, reads in b.com,
then says: Not a bootable disk or disk error  Press almost any key...

Booted from DOS, b.com works.  Using the old b.com with disk/format,
works.  It seems to be a problem between bb and the new b.com.

Any ideas?
