Re: [tlug] grub/possible sata issue

Hi Conor,

I think that the DOS requires Windows since DOS itself is the licensed 
software by MS usually. I bought IBM USB Keychain, and it reliably 
installs DOS boot softwares on USB drive, but it was also done by 
Windows as you could see...

How about following the instruction on the following URL?

http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Create_a_DOS_boot_USB_flash_drive

I didn't try it, so please excuse me if it also doesn't help.

Regards,
---Shin.
