     I have parallel question. Which programm allow me make at once system
partition in cross-system?

     I.e., I want make Win95 bootable partition under MS-DOS 6.x, but
SYS.COM from Win95 not work under MS-DOS (although allow point path with
system files) and vice-versa. Moreover, we can have different bootloader (at
least, between MS-DOS and Win95), differnet system files names (for example,
IBMBIO.COM/IBMDOS.COM and IO.SYS/MSDOS.SYS) and, for some, hard requirements
to location system files in directory and on disk.

     What can I do?
