DOS is a long time ago but I suspect that it requires files from the boot disk even if the system has already booted. If you take the boot disk out then things like COMMAND.COM will be missing and it won't have any shell. You could copy COMMAND.COM (and maybe a few other things) to the other disk. But anyway, you've got it working now which is the main thing.
