You are wrong about this.

Makes sense that it would fail. You are trying to stuff about 10MB of
files on 2 diskettes. Keep it simple and try:

bootos2 source=P:\BootECS\Required target=A: format:fat ga400

It will be tight, but it should fit.

I would not worry about about disk count, until you have a working set of
diskettes.

The moral here is don't do that. Don't try to break the rules until you
have success following the rules.
