This could be anything - BIOS, kernel, driver. Without a trap screen, who
can guess?

You need to RUN BOS2REXX in config.sys. There are other ways, but this is
probably the easiest for you. bootAble should have inserted this
statement for you.

Z: is the memdisk. bootAble uses the same technology as the eCS install
CD.

FWIW, most current hardware either does not support the floppy emulation
method or does not do it well.
