o Problem here is that init does not know the run level to begin
with. Boot disks made with mkbootdisk may not work because it
depends upon the /etc/inittab from existing set up on HDD for
boot up ... You may face similar problems in "single" mode as
well.
o I am afraid, you may have to go through a rescue disk (if you
have one) or a standalone distro like tomsrtbt to make editing
of existing /etc/inittab possible.
o I am not sure of the init setup for RH. The conventional thing
in many distros is below, but may vary for RH. Initlevel 3 is
safe enough. Add a line towards the beginning something like:
# Default runlevel.
id:3:initdefault:
o Hopefully, this should do the trick !

Sub : 16-bit DOS partition thru Linux LOST #061
Formatting a DOS-16 bit partition in Linux:
a) Through Linux fdisk mark the partion predesignated for DOS
FAT-16 as Type 4 (if it is < 32 mb) or Type 6 (if > 32 mb).
b) mkdosfs (man mkdosfs for details). The minimum options are:
#mkdosfs -c -f FAT-16 -n volume-label /dev/hdxN
