It's a lot easier if you modify the bootimage *before* you rawrite it to
disk. If that is not possible, use debug to edit the boot sector (Warning:
some versions of MSDOS will not edit a disk if it does not have a valid
boot sector - try another version):
c:\>debug
l100 0 0 1 # load to addr 100, from drive 0 (A:), sector 0, count 1
e2fc 4 3 # /dev/hd4 (addr is 100h + 508 = 2fch)
w100 0 0 1 # update
q # quit
