I'd guess it's happening when you run syslinux on the .img file. > Maybe I should dd the boot.img file to floppy... Then syslinux the > floppy. Then open it and make the 2 changes.

(You could also probably do all this on a file on the hard drive, but doing it on a floppy reduces the chances of doing any damage.) Mount the boot.image that you want to copy files from. (You can edit the files here, before copying them to the new image.) Insert and do not mount a floppy. Format the floppy with 'mformat a:' Run syslinux: 'syslinux -s /dev/fd0' Copy the needed files from the mounted image (or add new): 'mcopy /path/to/filename a:' When done, you can dd the floppy image to the hard drive. dd if=/dev/fd0 of=/path/to/write/boot.img bs=1440k Should give you a bootable floppy and a copy of the boot image on the drive.
