I wanted to try installing it directly, but couldn't get that to work.
Anyone know if there is an alternative to floppy boot of ReactOS?  I
get the impression that the install to MBR option doesn't install
anything.  The developers of ReactOS should get away from putting
the bootloader in the MBR in my opinion and shoot for grub/lilo
compatibility.  I want to run it directly on the hardware.  It would
be a lot more convenient to install the bootloader to the ReactOS
partition and have grub launch it.  Maybe the ReactOS people need to
talk to the FreeDos people.

Aside...
What's up with Freedos being stuck in hard freeze?
