Does anyone know anything about this "install filesystem" that msdos 4.x
and 5.x used? I just heard of it. A driver system of some kind I read. Are
there any drivers out there for this?

Yup, I do. Or rather, knew (Its rather long time ago I did anything with
it).
> Are there any drivers out there for this?
Yep, but very few that where of any use for someone wanting to write one
himself (mostly no sourcecode).
I just dove into my "chest of old stuff", and found some code back I worked
on, which, in its description header, mentioned where I got my info from.
Turns out that most of it came outof a single source: 'iHPFS for DOS' by
Marcus Better.
A quick-is peek on the Web shows that its (decade) old download has gone,
but I was able to find another using just the files name:
http://www.jumpjet.info/Application-Software/DOS/Viewers/iHPFS/iHPFS.zip
Hope you can use it.
Also do not forget Ralf Browns (excellent) interrupt list. :-)

format.com to format? Or do you need a HPFS filesystem? I don't have a
formatter for that. I run Virt PC 2007 and MS-DOS 5.21.

If a link you need is out of date, I'll try to locate a new source for
it.

Scroll down to the bottom and you will find ihpfs122.zip and
ihpfs124.zip.
You might want to bookmark the page or just go ahead and
mirror it to your harddrive. Lots of other good stuff
there.
Or better yet, bookmark this:

I have no idea, sorry.
I used that sourcecode as a reference to how IFS works, and wrote something
quite different (a simple "remote drive" using UDP over a packet driver).

mscd.exe. I got the fips for partitions a small partition. fdisk isn't good
to use. At least IDK how to use it. I create da small 50 MB extended
partition. Now with the ihpfs filesystem utility, do you need a formatter
for HPFS ?

the links were either correct or still available from the same
websites. I couldn't find a copy of CPHANTOM1.zip, only CPHANTOM.zip.
If I found multiple locations, I provided additional links.
