partition magic can be booted from my install CD but i don't think all files are needed. there are .img files that i can create Boot FDD from but there are 3 (2 are for each FDD and 1 more i am not sure for what.
Partition Magic FDD Images
for true image, there is a file f11.cfg
[start] echo Starting Acronis True Image... initrd ramdisk.dat /s kernel kernel.dat quiet quiet on mbrcrcs on vga vesa [continue] sysboot /active [bootmgr] echo Press F11 for Acronis Startup Recovery Manager... default continue delay 30 bootmenu 389
True Image files
i think this might help? lines 2 and 3? can i translate that to GRUB4DOS commands?
for DBAN, the "DBAN for installation on floppy disks and USB flash drives" states
The USB booting capabilities of many computers are incomplete or broken. Most
computers capable of booting from a USB device require that it report a
removable media type, and that it be unpartitioned and smaller than two
gigabytes (so that the BIOS can boot it like a floppy disk).
If the drive letter of your USB device does not appear in WinImage drive list,
then it is an unsupported media type. In particular, most USB+IDE bridge
implementations are unrecognized, which means that a 2.5 inch hard disk in an
external USB enclosure is incompatible.
can i do something else? its a linux so maybe somehow GRUB4DOS can do the job? and i have attached the syslinux.cfg as a txt file
