Steven, there is a problem with BL3 if it is used on a PC with DR-DOS
as its basic OS. On a fresh install, DR-DOS starts at the beginning of
the HDD, but it does not use the first entry in the MBR partition table.
So, this computer has drive "C" as /dev/hda3, and this keeps BL3 from
booting correctly. Some sort of a DOS-based "install" program might
be needed to handle this. I would be happy to help if you wish.
