Creating a Bootable Diskette

Each update diskette created must be made bootable with ROM-DOS
Ver. 6.22 or MS-DOS Ver. 6.22.

Note: It is recommended that the target system be booted with
the Resource CD that accompanied the product. However, the
process for making the diskettes is the same for all the compatible
versions of DOS. ROM-DOS Ver. 6.22 is included on the Resource
CD.

Print, review, and follow the instruction file (it supercedes any

will be cleared and reset to their default values during the BIOS
update portion of the operation. You will need these settings to
configure your computer at the end of the update procedure. To
record the current custom settings, boot the computer and press
F2 when you see the splash screen. Write down the current
custom settings in the BIOS Setup program.
