Can anybody advise me, how would I go about creating a self booting program on a self booting disk?

For example if I were to create a suitable 3.5" floppy disk that contained my assembly program and then is placed into the disk drive.
Following a system reset (and boot strap permitting) my assembly program would then start up from the diskette, without any further prompting from the user.

Thankyou in advance to anybody that replies

(Im currently writing programs using the MASM compiler, and a text editor.)
