Hello Victor, On your place I'll just create msdos partition and install FreeDOS (http://www.freedos.org/) there. (Actually I did use FreeDOS once to run some ancient programs of mine, but life is easier with emulators/dosbox). If you need a bootloader there, then http://mbrbm.sourceforge.net/ should work. However, if you need exactly m$'s dos, it's logical that you must borrow from there (from existing m$-dos or window$-9*). A quick googling shows that on http://mail-index.netbsd.org/tech-userlevel/2004/03/07/0000.html you can read how to borrow and how much. :) Nikola Le=C4=8Di=C4=87
