Do you have a step-by-step description of how to create such floppy, please?

Exactly that, formatted with PC Dos boot on it. I don't think that
you can buy PC Dos anymore. You can get freedos boot disk.<br>
Even a DRDOS, win 95 or win 98 boot disket would work.<br>
<br>
They don't seem to have a boot disk with the new freedos 1.1, If you
have a small partition you can install freedos on it.<br>

Write a disk image to the floppy?
Presumably not simply --> FAT32, as the disk will be booted.</pre>
</blockquote>
<br>
Slackware provides programs to do that, some that run under dos,
windows and Linux<br>
<br>
You don't have FAT32 on a floppy, it's too small, its FAT16.<br>

<br>
For boot the minimum number of files. On PC DOS there is some hidden
files and command.com<br>
With a minimum number of files you can still have room for a backup
of the MBR. With a win 95 boot that should be possible also.<br>
It gets too big with a win98 boot. Ideally you would have a
partition with freedos and a boot disk in case the MBR gets whacked.<br>
Your freedos partition needs to be less 2G or smaller.<br>
<br>
On my computer I first partitioned the disk with fdisk with a SuSE
boot CD. I then installed free dos<br>
