Triple boot FC3 intallation question

[Ciba LO]

Hello,

You're right.  That doesn't work.  It works for the WinMe, but not the MSDOS.

I have Windows98-version MSDOS installed in (hd1,0).  That is not a second 
Windows.  I would like to boot into MSDOS for ghost backup.  So, first I 
create a primary FAT partition, then transfer the MSDOS system (sys d:) and 
copy the dos commands from Windows98 boot diskette.
