Problem is: How do I install the boot code on the drive? FreeDOS

on the disk as well, and it is 784 kiB. Could I grow the image?
mkisofs can be used to create bootable CDs with a DOS floppy image.
The DOS system has to set up CD support, and the additional files end up
being on that "drive". See
man -P'less -p eltorito_boot' mkisofs
This worked for me with a Win95 install floppy, which sets up the CD
drive correctly. I don't know if FreeDOS is compatible enough to be a
safe way to try BIOS upgrades.
