.TH PATCHDOS 8
.SH NAME
patchdos \- patch up a relocated DOS partition
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B patchdos
.I dos-device
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B 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.
.PP
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.
.PP
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
.B SYS
command on the device, it works just as well and is a lot safer.
