It is possible to create a larger file (using mke2fs)
and transfer the contents of fs.img to the new file
(using send/receive).  Rename the new file fs.img and
put it in C:\baslin.  Let me know if you want detailed
instructions (and how big you want the new fs.img to be).

I'm pretty sure that's wrong.  I've used BL3 to run 
executables residing on a DOS partition.

If AROS is a Linux binary, it probably uses the current
Linux library (glibc2).  BL3 uses an older/smaller library
(libc5).  It may be possible to add the glibc2 library to
BL3 by installing a package from Slackware, but AFAIK nobody 
has tried that.
