Hello,
Sorry for breaking in!!!
I have WinMe In (hd0,0) and Win98 MSDOS in (hd1,0). And I can create
bootable floppy for both. Please advise how to create the bootsect.dos in
linux or msdos for both to work with the grub chainloader that you have
suggested. I couldn't locate the bootsect.dos in my WinMe.
