Hi,
after upgrading my harddisk and copying my files, everything works well with one
exception: I don't know how I can create a hibernation file again.
tpctl's documentation says that the hibernation file can be created using a dos
tool called ps2.exe.

The first partition on the harddisk is a FAT partition.
I don't know how I should create a M$-something bootdisk to run ps2.exe from it
to create a hibernation file.
I tried the usual format /s /q A: on win95/win98 and msdos but none of these
diskettes boot. They boot in dosemu.
But Freedos diskettes work and can also access my harddisk.
So I tried ps2.exe from there.
But ps2.exe seems not to work with Freedos. It gives the same error message
as it was started from dosemu (with the same Freedos bootdisk). 

So I ask: Is there any tool for linux which can create such a hibernation file?

Greetings
