!!! Booting [DOS]
This is the recommended procedure for creating a SysLinux disk that can boot either [DOS] or [Linux]. This example assumes the drive is __A:__ in [DOS] and __/dev/fd0__ in [Linux]; for other drives, substitute the appropriate drive designator.

SysLinux can boot from a [FAT12] or [FAT16] FileSystem partition on a HardDisk ([FAT32], introduced in [Windows] 95 OSR-2, is not supported, however). The installation procedure is identical to the procedure for installing it on a floppy, and should work under either [DOS] or [Linux]. To boot from a partition, SysLinux needs to be launched from a Master Boot Record or another boot loader, just like [DOS] itself would.
Under [DOS], you can install a standard simple [MBR] on the primary hard disk by running the command:
-
FDISK /MBR
+
FDISK /MBR
Then use the __FDISK__ command to mark the appropriate partition active.
A simple [MBR], roughly on par with the one installed by [DOS] (but unencumbered), is included in the SysLinux distribution.
