Found some old info at my ancient Blog on Jeremy's server [ http://wiki.fdos.org/Blog/Bernd ] Indeed DR-DOS got its SYS from here.
I seem to recall that SYS did not support FAT32 bootsectors for Windows 95OSR2.x and Windows98/98SE/ME. As we're on the kernel list anyway, would anyone be able to tell me if it's possible to modify the kernel enough with additional code so that it could read a Isolinux/Memdisk commandline including arguments? Followed by searching for a "config=x" option where x=[0..9] and then executing that menu option in (fd)config.sys. The benefit of this is taking away 1 keypress Currently it's : 1) select to boot FreeDOS from CD , 2) select which menu option you want. I'd rather create multiple Isolinux options which would then tell the same FreeDOS diskette image what to do, in config.sys already. Eric Auer had a commandline utility for this, which is already quite usefull, but means there's no support for loading device drivers (and specially DOS=HIGH, DOS=UMB, the kernel and FreeCOM , XMS saves a lot of memory) Bernd ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ OpenSolaris 2009.06 is a cutting edge operating system for enterprises looking to deploy the next generation of Solaris that includes the latest innovations from Sun and the OpenSource community.
