Hello, > original BIOS vectors. If you don't mind to use VESA and VM86 you can download > modified fbsdboot.exe on ftp://ftp.genericwindows.com:21/pub/FBSDBOOT.EXE.

I know about this solutions, but.. they need additional work and interaction with end users. I need clear solution for DOS, dumb and acceptable for most users. They need understandable solution like 'run dosboot.exe c:\bin\kernel', I'll just provide kernels for them (maybe from shared disk).
