: Folks,
As most hw manufacturers force us to boot into dos to upgrade BIOS or run diagnotsics we all need to keep a floppy (or usb) with dos on it. I know I can create a small partition and install the floppy contents thee and add the requisite entry to grub (or lilo).
My question is we can boot and jump into memtest using a floppy, or a menu entry in grub using a dot bin file. Can we do the same with dos 6.22 and not create a new partition for dos?
Thanks,
Vahe
Yes, you can. I use the biosdisk Dell utility to update my Inspiron laptop, it should work with any hardware...
