-f Force installing
+ -r Raid mode. If boot fails, tell the BIOS to boot the next

normal MS-DOS formatted floppy. Copy one or more Linux kernel files to
it, then execute the DOS command:
- syslinux [-sfma][-d directory] a:

(or whichever drive letter is appropriate; the [] meaning optional.)
Under Linux, execute the command:
- syslinux [-sf][-d directory][-o offset] /dev/fd0
+ syslinux [-sfr][-d directory][-o offset] /dev/fd0
(or, again, whichever device is the correct one.)
