I was unable to get this zip disk boot program to work on my small 386-sx
16 machine.  I didn't want to screw up the boot sector of my main system,
so I was going to try it on my little system I have here for
testing/porting things around.  The install program claims that my mbr is
full, and it can't continue it's install process.  I've even gone as far
as to backup everything, fdisk/format the disk, then try the install
program.  Still no go.  
Any suggestions why this might be, and does anyone else have this problem?
I suppose it's possible I've got a boot sector virus, though a scan with
mcaffee's scan, and fprot both turned up nothing.
