Whell, I installed the DUAL BOOT feature myself, and it is very easy.
What you have to do :
1) Partition your disk; one FAT and one HPFS partition.
2) Make your FAT the primary partition
3) Put DOS onto FAT partition (format /s!)
4) Run the installation program -> you'll be asked for the dual boot feature

I think this is all there is to it. (The system I use only uses 1 FAT partition,
but I think it will work for 2 as well).
