In order for me to feel safe with the dos programs tht I run under 
linux/dosemu, I also have an option to boot directly to a dos from grub.

I have gone into fdisk (linux's fdisk) and make /dev/hda1 and /dev/hda2 
bootable.  hda1 is a fat32 partition, hda3 is my linux root partition.  when 
I run suse 9.3, no problem, but when I try to boot to dos, it says 'not a 
bootable drive'.  what do i need to do.  I am currently running freedos with 
4dos as a command.com.
