That's what I'd assume should work. 
1. You format the floppy disk with within a system
2. install df0: to copy/create boot sector on such disk
3. and then it should look for df0:S/startup-sequence for instruction how to
boot or just boot to AmigaDOS with nothing loaded or most likely error message
that this is not a proper AmigaDOS disk.

I haven't been playing with Amiga for a while but if that doesn't work for
you, I can try to boot it up again for a simple test.

... Xerox Alto was the thing. Anything after we use is just a mere copy.
