It looks like you're trying to boot from an external 5.25 floppy, in which
case I'm afraid there's no getting around it.  External 5.25's on a //c
are mapped to S6,D2.  Apple //s won't boot from drive 2.  (8-bits anyway,
don't know about a gs...)

An external Unidisk 3.5 floppy on the other hand maps to S5,D1.  You can
boot from one of those...
