Boot loader program

[Ross]

Does anyone on this list have a program that can write a file
to a floppy disk that does not have a DOS OS on it. Just a plain
formatted floppy disk.The program must be able to write a file 
that is bigger than 64K to the PC floppydisk then load the program 
into the PC main memory  for example; at 0000:0000 to 0000:7fff. 
This will allow the  program I have designed to allow faster 
development with chipset based motherboards without the use 
of any os's or the need of a rom emulator. I have developed a
program that will only do smaller programs but need help on
getting a 256k program from a plain formatted non-dos floppy
into the pc memory. Help!!!!!

Sounds like either Linux(Unix) dd program or DOS's RAWRITE.EXE
