Subject: Trouble booting CP/M-86

I hope someone has a fix for this problem.  I don't have a good solution.

I have been running CP/M-86 from floppies on an IBM-PC (early model).  I 
added a hard disk and run CCP/M-86 from that, as well as still running the
CP/M-86 from floppy.  Because I had an old IBM-PC I could not boot directly
from hard disk, but had to use a special boot floppy to bring up CCP/M.

Now I have the new ROM for my PC, and I can boot MS-DOS or CCP/M directly
from the hard disk. *BUT* I can no longer boot any of my CP/M-86 floppy
disks.      

I put the diskette in drive A: and power up.  After a small wait the CRT
says '1 hard disk' and spins the floppy.  It then says:

  Interrupt #40 from C800:0353
  Strike any key to continue

vertically down the screen (and it wasn't easy to read, believe me!).
Striking any key just repeats the message.

What am I doing wrong.  I can still boot a floppy version of MS-DOS, but
not CP/M-86.  Turning off the hard drive doesn't help.  Any suggestions?

                                       tnx
