I've got an IBM PC RT running AIX 2.2.1.

I know that this has been asked here before but it hasn't been
a problem for me until now. Sorry.

Can someone please tell me how to boot from a diskette in
the floppy drive?

I've done this hundreds of times before without any problem but
now for some reason I'm not able to boot from the floppy drive
that contains the Install/Maintenance diskette nor the Diagnostics
Diskette. When I CTRL - ALT - PAUSE the floppy spins for a bit 
then stops and eventually the system starts booting from the hard drive.
