There were a few 386 MB's that required an external setup disk (usually
Phoenix).   I'm assuming that your system will at least boot from drive A:
in some fashion?  If not, you may want to zap the CMOS and see what
happens.

I may have one such diskette in my collection--I'll have a look tonight.

Cheers,
