I can burn the boot image to floppy and it will boot my pc but the Tandy tells me it is an invalid boot disk
I believe this is a problem with lots of 720KB floppies being written in 1.44MB drives. You'll have to format the disk as a 720KB disk, THEN write the image to it, and even then it has a chance of not working. I assume that you are using a 1.44MB disk; make sure it's formatted as a 720KB disk, not a 1.44MB disk.
