Correct.
FYI (if anybody else is interested in this config), here is what we are
using (short version):
Syslinux boots from HDD, loads memdisk + floppy A: image from HDD.
Syslinux then chainloads to the floppy A: image.
Inside the floppy A: image, we again have syslinux+memdisk. This next
memdisk takes over floppy B: and chainloads the boot sector in floppy
B:.
This is a pretty cool and elegant solution to our problem. :-)
