[syslinux] PXELINUX based kickstart query (probably OT)

[Coe, Colin C. (Unix Engineer)]

One last question, in this thread anyway :)

To fully automate this I need a DOS hex editor that can be driven from
the command line.  It only needs to replace the first two bytes of the
MBR.  Do you know of such a beast?

Excellent!

It's entirely possible BBS is much better supported in 2006 than last 
time I looked at this stuff, which was probably in 1999.  I think I have

to throw myself an ESTALE and sit in the corner.
