I've recently installed FreeDOS to a new partition on my Toshiba Tecra 2300 laptop, but there were a couple of hitches along the way.
First issue was the Live CD failing to boot. Isolinux gives an config file error and defaults to command prompt. I'm pretty sure it's not a bad burn or any other kind of error with the CD, because I've successfully installed FreeDOS on a previous laptop and a PC from it with no problems. Manually starting FDBOOT.IMG using memdisk seems to have worked, I was able to run the installer. I've mentioned this in case it has some bearing on my second issue. I've installed PLoP Boot Manager 5.0.7, which recognises the FreeDOS partition, but gives an 'unable to read boot device' error. The partition is primary and active, and has both fdconfig.sys in the root directory and kernal.sys in the \fdos dir, so it looks to me like the installation completed successfully. I'd welcome any suggestions. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Planet: dedicated and managed hosting, cloud storage, colocation Stay online with enterprise data centers and the best network in the business Choose flexible plans and management services without long-term contracts Personal 24x7 support from experience hosting pros just a phone call away. http://p.sf.net/sfu/theplanet-com _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
