Week end finally, I was able to make some test, booting my USB key
under VMWare using it as a Hard Disk (/dev/sdb), it boots DOS 6.22
correctly! With and without safeint.
However, my Windows ME copy is now blocking at "Starting Windows
Millennium Emergency Boot...", not that I care much about ME, but now
I'm wondering if I made everything OK, if needed I can make an image
copy of my USB key.
The partition I boot from is FAT32, I forgot to mention.
