This patch makes mkdosfs accept a new option "-B" that allows it to make a bootable partition. Requires that you give the filename of a file containing valid boot sector as an argument to -B. Will work if you give a bootable partition as argument.
EG: mkdosfs -F 16 -B bootsect.fat16 /dev/sda1 mkdosfs -F 32 -B bootsect.fat32 /dev/sda1 or to keep current boot code... mkdosfs -F 32 -B /dev/sda1 /dev/sda1 NOTE: sent to redhat binutils list as it seemed to be the closest to the proper list. There seems to be no real maintainer for mkdosfs anymore... Sam
