It's meant to be used on a FAT12 DOS formatted floppy. You just copy
it to the same location as the loader.

If you want you could modify the loader (a lot) to make one
that doesn't depend on DOS. The whole reason I mention FreeDOS
is for when you don't have DOS already. It's a free download.
Starting your own OS using a form of DOS for the loader is pretty
common since most people want to jump right to the *fun* parts instead
of spending time on boot loaders.
