Problem with VFD

The only floppy drive reader I have doesn't like to boot, so I'm stuck with using VFD for booting. I've never had this problem before, but now I do. When I boot bochs, It loads some information about the filesysem created by VFD, even after I send it my bootloader. What is weirder is that after I boot if I read back the contents of the first 512 bytes into a file then it is the data I coppied. This is the first time I have had any problem with VFD.
The hex dump that bochs loads is titled bochs
The hex dump of what is on the floppy after reading back the data on the floppy is titled floppy

Turns out I was using fd0 as my floppy drive instead of -f0.
