It's been a while since I've used tasm, so I can't
give you a definite answer, but if you check up the
command line help:
tlink32 /?

You should be able to find an option for outputing
a straight binary, no format.

Something like this:
tasm32 myboot.asm
tlink32 myboot.obj -oformat bin

That's not real syntax, but hopefully you get what
I'm trying to say. That's all you should need to
do.

Or, if it outputs just straight .exe files, strip
the first 512 bytes, and you've got a flat binary.
