• Subject: mkdosfs patch to enable booting

This patch makes mkdosfs accept a new option "-B" that allows it to make abootable partition.   Requires that you give the filename of a filecontaining valid boot sector as an argument to -B.  Will work if you givea bootable partition as argument.EG:mkdosfs -F 16 -B bootsect.fat16 /dev/sda1mkdosfs -F 32 -B bootsect.fat32 /dev/sda1or to keep current boot code...mkdosfs -F 32 -B /dev/sda1 /dev/sda1NOTE: sent to redhat binutils list as it seemed to be the closest to theproper list.  There seems to be no real maintainer for mkdosfs anymore...Sam
