Before I answer the question, I have to ask WHY? With the mtools suite
of programs, you can transfer files to the disk as easy as mcopy.
No need to mount, etc. That way the disks are still MessyDOS compatible.
The simple process is to run fdisk and remove the partition for MessyDOS,
which is partition 4 and then create a Linux partition in partition #1.
Newfs the system and you are ready to mount.
But, I do suggest keeping the MessyDOS partition and use mtools to transfer
files to and from the medium.
