That could be an idea. But so far, with that problem we have to deal with, is 
there anything that can be done about FreeDOS, or it really is not related to 
it and it's Asus BIOS that is poorly built and only Asus could do something to 
let computer use boot option 2 when boot option 1 is not available instead of 
showing an error message ?

Subject: Re: [Freedos-devel] FreeDOS compatibility issue according to Asus

I have heard of SeaBIOS,but I have never used it myself.SeaBIOS looks like a 
good alternative for BIOS.(And about the punctuation,if sentences don't have 
spaces after symbols in real life then I won't do otherwise on the computer 
:p).Maybe there is a way we could implement SeaBIOS with FreeDOS as an extra 
feature?

Isn't there a program that emulates BIOS on top of UEFI?  I think it's

called SeaBIOS?



(Also, it would really make your posts easier to read if you hit the space

bar after punctuation... :P)
