Please see previous replies from others on this list. Unless you have a
disk, real or virtual in the drive there is no way FreeDOS could directly
cause the failure. If there is a disk involved, then there could be
incompatibilities but this is the first report of them I recall seeing.
Additional information is needed to determine where in the boot process the
failure occurs and which component is involved, ie way disk
fdisk/formatted, or maybe boot sector on virtual image, and then is it
floppy, hd, CD boot code, ...
To answer your second question, no we are not working to fix it. However,
if it is a problem with FreeDOS and something we can reasonably fix or work
around, then it may be fixed if we get more information. As they seem to
know the cause, at minimum a bug report would be nice, preferably with
details of what point and how FreeDOS is involved in the booting.
