-Another possibility is to use FreeDOS and sys-freedos to make a bootable floppy.

-Make sure you have mtools, mkdosfs, command.com and kernel.sys from freedos, and sys-freedos.

-[FreeDOS distribution|http://www.freedos.org/freedos/files/] - You will need command.com and kernel.sys from fdbasecd.iso:/freedos/setup/odin/<br>  
-[sys-freedos|http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/dos/sys/sys-freedos-linux/] - You will need [sys-freedos.pl| KnowledgeBase/Scripts/sys-freedos.pl] from the tarball
