If you have a kernel for it to boot, and you have or know of a root partition with a basic installation on, sure. Slackware's setup diskettes would let you mount a Linux partition if it's still valid. > And now all we need is dumplin, something to load the dos > kernel. Ctrl-Alt-Delete.

Shared files are rarely opened for writing, and of course an open file is a concept that only applied to the OS that opened it. Given those, it should be obvious that few files need to be closed at all during a kernel shutdown. The traditional sync; sync; halt during system shutdown closes out user data files normally.
