[syslinux] Howto create hd image with bootable (Free)DOS system

[Dominik Fischer]

Hello again,
thank you for the numerous answers to my question. I've decided to use
qemu for the creation of the diskimage. This works very well. I
sucessfully
updated my Thinkpad T61 with this image booted over pxelinux.

Regards,
Dominik
