Got it, but also want to acces it from DOS! And want my root FS to be ext2fs 
too!

Not true. Slackware 3.x has a *one floppy* version of Linux for you to try.

Hmm... That's not what it's all about. We want DOS to live on - for that we 
have to make it a modern operating system. And while maintaining a *certain* 
level of compatibility (the highest possible, of course) we have to sacrifice 
the features (or misfeatures) that are obstacles on our way.

Midnight sun bids moors farewell, retreats from charging dusk,
Mountains echo, curfews bell, signal ending tasks.
They place their faith in oaken doors, cover in candle light
The panic seeps through bloodstained floors
   as Grendel stalks the night
