I had no trouble RAWRITEing boot1.fs and boot2.fs to diskettes, my problem was
getting them to boot.  I used RAWRITE.EXE from a Linux CD, assuming this
RAWRITE.EXE is identical to the RAWRITE.EXE used for (Free, Net or Open)BSD.  I
was running under DR-DOS 7.03 with no MS-Windows.  I think there are separate
Win95/98/ME and NT/2000 versions of RAWRITE.
