Description: Make a kernel + root image bootable from one disk or from DOS
 mkrboot generates boot disks that contain both a kernel and a root image.
 This enables Debian bootup for installation purposes from one floppy.
 . 
 mkrboot can also use loadlin to make a floppyless installation possible.
 .
 Boot methods supported:
  - Loadlin from running DOS/Windows without a floppy
  - Loadlin from a FreeDOS bootup disk
  - Lilo from one floppy
  - Kernel Boot loader from one floppy
  - Syslinux from one floppy
