I got it working. I didn't look at the mb scripts close enough, and 
thought the were the same.  Your partially right that image has a script 
for both floppy, and DW3 so you can make any kind of boot from it.  Hard 
disk to, if you edit the mb script for the correct files.

I originally used the dw3 script thinking they were the same. Using the 
floppy script was the solution.
