Syslinux - Feb 2007 - floppy problems after DOS booting with dos.bss and syslinux 3.xx

Hello,

I'm Rene living in Germany.

I have a problem when I use syslinux versions greater
than 3.xx for booting DOS (over dos.bss) and DSL-linux
  
from a hard disk. (I've tried version 3.11 and the
newest 3.36). The problem occurred after booting DOS -
I can not access to the ordinary 3.5'-floppy drive
(e.g. the command "dir a:" fails after a while). DOS
not even notices that no floppy disk is inserted.
Normally appears immediately the known error message.

The problem appears on all tested different computers.
The syslinux version 2.04 works very well, but I need
a FAT-partition greater than 1GB, so I want to use
version 3.xx.

It seems that the newer versions change something in
the BIOS data area or so.

Thanks in advance for your assistance,
Rene
