Hi there. I don't know if anybody remembers but what this WiniBoot or
something like this is said to do (reside in the boot sector and ask
for the boot partition) is already done by a utility I posted to the
group more then a year ago. It was called mfdisk and since then I
heard from a lot of users of this thing. I posted it with full source
and the modifications needed for Minix to boot fully from the
hard disk. If anybody is interested, I'll post again. The partition
boot utility is very usefull for any os you want to boot. Currently,
I'm using it on my 33Mhz ALR to boot MeSDOS, OS/2 and Xenix and at home
to boot MeSDOS and Minix.

Regards ... Motti
