I know that the CPU needs at least something there in order to no crash when starting the boot of a floppy disk.
Is it legal to actually copy the MS-DOS 5.0 boot sector code there when generating the disk image? Or is this boot sector program also copyrighted (so essentially any formatted disk sharing with another person who hasn't bought MS-DOS 5.0 is illegal)?
I currently have the boot sector code from http://thestarman.pcministry.com/asm/mbr/DOS50FDB.htm copied in my emulator, but still disabled (using a simple int 18h jmp $-2 instruction instead(it is in the wrong place in the last release, crashing the emulator using it, executing data/0 values)).
