More rawrite woes

[Pete]

  I think the debian and redhat disks use syslinux to load the kernel and I
know slackware you can't do a dos dir on, you'll just get a invalid media
type.  You can do a dos dir on the redhat and debian boot disks can't you?

If you successfully create a Linux boot/root disk with rawrite
you will not be able to see the disk contents with a DOS or
Windows command.  Your disk might be okay.
