	Yes, please llok into .bat before run it or after you get an
error. It is cool to look into scripts you lanched before ask questions :)
	It is error in autoboot.bat: initrd parameter contain wrong
pathname to root image.
	solution: just run by hand next command

F:/ > cd dosutils

F:/dosutils > loadlin autoboot/linux initrd=autoboot/initrd.img


simple, yeaah?
