Nothing in mknbi-dos has changed from 0.5.2 to 0.5.3. However, you should
be able to use it right as it is. At least I was able to boot the MS-DOS,
which comes as the basis of Windows-95 (I think it's called MS-DOS version
7.0) without a problem, and I also got reports that it's possible to boot
a full Windows-95 without any changes to mknbi-dos. Please note that the
documents for which you have given the URL, describes a setup using a
commercial bootrom, which is not compatible with netboot or etherboot.

gero.
