Hi: I've been fiddling with bootable DOS CD's. I've even created a mini "How-to" that creates a 2.88MByte floppy disk image, creates a bootable CD image, and boots it. You can add a CDROM driver if you like and use the rest of the CD. I'll be glad to send it to you if you like. It's a rough draft, but I think the process is well described.
It can be used with DOS 6.22 or FreeDOS.
