Hi Pete,

no chance.

assuming you manage to map C: to the fixed disk, and D: to the USB
drive, (Free)DOS will still open C:CONFIG.SYS and start executing it.
as this would the CONFIG.SYS from the fixed disk, your setup will
never execute.

of course, with some clever DRVEXCHG or similar smart config.sys
commands, this could be fixed.

alternatively - this is the advantage of open source - modify

freedos kernel, config.c

  if (drv >= 0x80)
    drv = 3; /* C: */
  LoL->BootDrive = drv;

to your liking


Tom
