Hi Don,

After Googling on "bootimg.bin, dissect", I'm wondering whether the 
imgtool.exe in :
http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/distributions/tools/imgtool.zip>
would do the trick for you?

 From a [mainly] M$-oriented page, which mentions using a single CD for 
installing multiple OSes, I don't knowwhether you will get any 
additional ideas?

See: http://www.thetechguide.com/forum/lofiversion/index.php/t903.html>

HTH and good luck! ;-)
