	How did you use mknbi-dos?  I've had problems using it with
certain versions of MS-DOS when creating bootdisk from a directory,
but it's always been successful when using it with a floppy image.

	Try to create a MS-DOS bootdisk, and create an image of it
(eg: 'dd if=/dev/fd0 of=image.dd' from Linux), then use mknbi-dos to
convert that image.
