When you downloaded the 6.22 bootdisk did you then run that downloaded program to create a boot disk?
It's not a "boot disk" by just copying the download to the floppy.

If the PC has been out of use for a long time, the CMOS setup will have been lost.
Have you gone into the BIOS to tell it that it has actually got a floppy drive, and what type it is? It may have defaulted to a 5-1/4 in the BIOS setting, which would cause it to not recognise the 3-1/2.
