try setting the MacVolumes environment variable to point to your B:
drive before running Executor, as:
% export MacVolumes="/dev/fd1"
Or reverse the device entries for your two drives temporarily:
# cd /dev
# mv fd1 temp
# mv fd0 fd1
# mv temp fd0
I haven't actually verified that these work, since my computers all
have only 3.5" floppies. A measure of last resort would be to swap
the ribbon-cable attachment points for the drives in your machine (and
adjust CMOS Setup accordingly).
