Yes, I'm sorry, I should have mentioned that. You would need to be logged
in as root (or su to root), then do all the above (except about change
directories; if you're root, /sbin is already in your path). Just log in as
root and stay in root's home directory and execute those commands - this
will drop the bootsect.lnx file into your root home directory instead of
/sbin.

ps - feel free to ask if you're not quite comfortable with this stuff yet.
Great! It worked. I forgot to comment out a couple of lines. However, since
I was using Grub, I was wondering why I would need two different boot
loaders.
It was definitely a learning experience in boot loading.
