Do you need to set the bootable flag in the partition table so that DOS will boot from that partition?

Ok...I need to be able to boot from my live cd, create a FAT32 partition, make it boot able, then remove the live CD,and reboot to the HDD into DOS. Now, I have the partitioning down: sfdisk /dev/sda < ./disk.info - where disk.info = 1,730,c,*. This creates a 6GB Fat32 (LBA) partition set to bootable. Formatting: mkdosfs -s 8 -F /dev/sda1 And I have the DOS IO.SYS MSDOS.SYS and COMMAND.COM copied in THAT order. When I try to boot, it just doesn't. It's like there is no FDISK. DOS tools are not an option here. It *must* be created with linux. Any ideas?
