+Any one of the four kernel files suffices to load the kernel. FreeDOS SYS or EDR-DOS SYS may both be used to install the boot sector loader, using their /K switch to set the appropriate filename for the kernel. (EDR-DOS SYS is so old it does not contain loaders that support 256 sectors per cluster.) lDOS's instsect may also be used, in which case the /F= switch is used to set the filename.
