Poorly Documented, Yes ! But I have done that once or maybe twice
without any problems. Sometimes M$ makes their own things sit back
comfortably. I Never backed up io.sys, msdos,sys or boot record.
Just adding a line something like
C:\="Microsoft windows" in BOOT.INI did work then.

Well, I meant FAT16. words get warped :-)
