OK, I can make this machine boot from the FreeDOS installation
on the hard drive...I believe it is the kernel from Beta9SR2 at
the moment...I get a new error, but it correctly identifies all the
partitions, boots to the correct one as C:, and can see them all,
even the stick:
The interesting parts are:
C: HD1, Pri[ 3], CHS=10569-0-1, start = 78028MB, size = 502MB
D: HD2, Pri[ 2], CHS=1784-0-1, start = 13994MB, size = 502MB
Drive is too large to handle, using only 1st 8 GB
drive 82 heads 255 sectors 63, total 0x3c3ff-76697244
WARNING: partition Pri:1 FS 06 has CHS = 15-92-13, not 14-254-63
E: HD3, Pri[ 1], CHS = 0-1-1, start = 0MB, size = 120MB
WARNING: partition Pri:3 FS 0B has CHS = 1848-0-1, not 1023-254-63
WARNING: partition Pri:3 FS 0B has CSH = 3122-254-63 not 1023-254-63
WARNING: partition Pri:3 is not LBA
Please run fdisk [blah, blah, blah]
F: HD2, Pri[ 3], CHS = 1848-0-1, start = 14496MB, size = 10001MB
boots to a normal C:> prompt. All partitions accessible and
dir c:, dir d:, dir e:, dir f: all work.
Removing the stick and rebooting, the message about "Drive is too large
to handle" goes away as does HD3 and partition E:. I get C:, D:, and E:
and they are all accessible and dir c:, dir d:, and dir e: work.
Frustrating...

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

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!
