This is a recollection from some email I received a while ago.

To get a Minix boot image onto a floppy under MS-DOS:

>debug
-n image.bin		Name the file
-l			Load it, it starts at cs:100
-w cs:100 0 0 2c4	Write from address cs:100 to sector 0 on
			drive 0 (A:), write out 0x2c4 sectors (==360K)
-q

N.B. I haven't tried this, but after reading the debug manual, it seems
a valid method.

Please send success/fail stories to comp.os.minix, please!
