[syslinux] Building a bootable floppy image > 1.44MB

[Marcel Ritter]

Hi there!

After reading the last posting about creating a boot disk as non-root,
I have a question of my own:

Does anyone know a way to produce a floppy/harddisk image able to boot a
DOS environment (without using windows, vmware or other tools of that
kind)? Is it perhaps even possible to create larger disk images (>2.88MB)?

It's no problem to get an image with a DOS filesystem, but I'd really like
to use some linux tools to make it bootable.

Something like: "msys a:" of "mformat /s a:" would be fine :-)

Any ideas?

Ciao,
  Marcel
