Do you have 5 physical BIOS chips on your motherboard?
Are you wanting to run a real DOS environment or just DOS under
Windows?
Do you have 5 partitions you want to have bootable?
First thing you have to enable booting from a CD in your BIOS.
This is not always a default setting. Download a live Linux CD image and
burn a bootable disc, if you can't get that to work, this is not at all doable
for you.
I have used one Linux boot manager to let me select at boot C drive with IBM
PC dos 6.3, D drive Windows NT4.0 or one of 3 differant Linux Distros.
I had boot flopys for everything while I was setting this up.
It was a bit trial and error Til I hit one of the Linuxs whose boot manager
saw everthing on its own.
