Just a quick check you can do: Go into your BIOS setup and see if the
system is set to boot from C: then A:, or to ignore the floppy on boot.
If so, then you need to make sure that the boot search order is A:,
C:.
This doesn't fix your other issue (not being able to run single-user),
but it's worth checking.
