When I upgraded my Tandy 1000 HX from Tandy DOS 3.2 to MS-DOS 5 I found
I had to use drivparm also. Luckily the same config.sys is on the
bootdisk. 
All I have is drivparm = /D:0 /F:2 and I believe that worked okay.
Didn't need /I since 3.5" drives are standard on the machine.
Floppy A: is 0, B: is 1 for the /D:n parm.

You could also add the sectors (/S:n) and tracks (/T:n) maybe.
BTW, what is "a" and is that supposed to be there? Unless you just put
that there to let us know what drive you were referring to I don't
think that's a parm.
