install a boot sector on Head 0, Track 0, Sector 1 of your floppy and voil?. The boot sector you install will depend on what loader you want to have (if any) .. it can even be a file you created yourself, depending on what you want to do (check out the Baby Steps threads from .:QuickLinkz:.

How you will install your bootsector in sector 1 depends on your host environment (you're running windows, ain't you -- then you'll need partcopy or rawwrite)
