It does. :-)  I just performed this a few hours ago, as LILO wouldn't
work on my system due to the HDD being > 1024 cylinders.  So I just did
FDISK /MBR and let DOS boot off the HDD (it's the default anyway, until
I finish configuring Linux to my needs), and simply boot Linux off
floppy. :-)

... What if there were no hypothetical situations?
