The convention for such an installation is for the Linux root directory to be a subdirectory of the root directory of the DOS boot volume, e.g. codice_24 . The various Linux top-level directories are thus, to DOS, directories such as codice_25 (for codice_26), codice_27 (for codice_28), codice_29 (for codice_30), and so forth. The "umsdos" filesystem driver automatically prepends the codice_31 to all pathnames. The location of the Linux root directory is supplied to the "umsdos" filesystem driver in the first place via an option to the codice_32 command. So, for example, codice_32 would be invoked with a command line such as <syntaxhighlight inline lang="dos">loadlin c:\linux\boot\vmlinuz rw root=c:\linux</syntaxhighlight> .
