Hello, all: OK, I have arrived at home with the same 128MB memory stick. Prepared just like Michael stated...development kernel, format 0.91V, etc..
I stuck it in the compaq computer I have at home and rebooted. The interesting things are as follows: WARNING: partition Pri:1 FS 06 has CHS = 15-92-13, not 14-254-63 C:HD1, Pri[ 1], CHS = 0-1-1, start = 0MB, size = 120MB D:HD2, Pri[ 3], CHS = 10569-0-1, start = 78028MB, size = 502 MB E:HD3, Pri[ 2], CHS = 1784-0-1, start = 13994MB, size = 502MB WARNING: partition Pri:3 FS 0B has CHS = 1848-0-1, not 1023-254-63 WARNING: partition Pri:3 FS 0B has CHS = 3122-254-63, not 1023-254-63 WARNING: partition Pri:3 is not LBA Please run fdisk [blah, blah, blah] F:HD3, Pri[ 3], CHS = 1848-0-1, start = 14496MB, size = 10001MB Bad or missing Command Interpreter Enter the full shell command line: command.com /p /E:256 Here, entering C:\command.com did nothing but repeat the error with C:\command.com. I have FreeDOS on what is D: installed. Entering "D:\command.com" gets me to a C:\> prompt. DIR C: works and shows me the files on the stick (kernel.sys, command.com, and a trivial autoexec.bat). DIR D:, DIR E:, DIR F: all work fine. type c:\autoexec.bat works fine. This is frustrating!
