DOS ain't dead

Floppy boot sector injection/conversion to HD (Miscellaneous)

From Jeremy, via the FreeDOS mailing lists:

"It supports most ms/pc/dr DOS kernels

Any issues found should be reported and I will look into them. The only
issue I recall is it doesn't move files, so needs to be ran on freshly
formatted disk for early kernels. The boot sector is not universal, it is
customized when sys is ran. I used it to switch kernels for testing."

So apparently both FreeDOS/EDR and MS/PC DOS style are possible with
the flexible FreeDOS SYS and boot sector variants used by Jeremy
