Pat,

I've been spending too much time figuring out how to do the MBR and its
becoming frustrating.

I've tried this:
   download fdisk121.zip from freedos.
   mkdir x
   mount -o dosboot.img x
   cp fdisk.exe x/
   umount x/

>From dosemu:
   A: fdisk /mbr
   "ERROR: Sector not found, AH=0x42!

I've read some of your responses on the mailing list and it makes sense
that since C: -> /dev/sda2, then fdisk does not have access the disk.

Any ideas?
Thanks,

Tony
