NAME
     patchdos - patch up a relocated DOS partition

SYNOPSIS
     patchdos dos-device

DESCRIPTION
     Patchdos patches up an MS-DOS file system after it has been  moved  to  a
     different  place  on  disk  or  to  a  different  disk.  A DOS boot block
     contains all kinds of surplus data like the number of heads  and  sectors
     per  track  and  the absolute start of partition that need to be repaired
     after relocation.

     This program works blind, no checking whatsoever.  So you have to be sure
     that  the  file  system is created by MS-DOS 4.0 or later.  You have been
     warned.

     Use this program only for automated installation of a DOS partition  from
     Minix.   Otherwise boot the machine with an MS-DOS floppy and use the SYS
     command on the device, it works just as well and is a lot safer.
