You can do this anyway by using an auxiliary bootloader, e.g. Syslinux
or Grub. The idea is that you load the basic DOS into a ramdisk from
the bootloader (e.g. via memdisk) and then you can load your TSR.
What*might* be useful could be a way to have some way for the FreeDOS
kernel to natively boot from a ramdisk in high memory, or at least have
a way to not have the ramdisk become drive A or C.
Hello,
You are right. that's the most logical thing to do in DOS. And even
better if, as you say, ramdisk becomes some drive letter other than A ou C.
