I wanted a bigger harddisk file to use with SoftPC than the default 1 meg.  So
I made one with the option of the D: menu item, then FDISK'ed it with /s, then
FORMAT'ed it, then SYS'ed it.  

But when I pick that hard disk file to be my C: (booting) drive, SoftPC dies
with the error "SoftPC does not support a ROM basic."

I tried it with the included dos 3.3, and also with dos 5.  Same error.

Anyone else run into this problem? Any fixes?
