I've never used Grub2, but I had thought it did have explicit mentions of supporting FreeDOS. I could be wrong, though, as it's certainly a very complicated piece of software. A quick search shows this, which does mention Grub2: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Flashing_BIOS_from_Linux#FreeDOS >> Regarding the diskimage together with a memdisk ramdisk as C:, which >> is the boot disk, and how big can the diskimage and ramdisk be? > > If you have enough RAM, probably up to 2 GB and more? > The memdisk documentation may tell you more about it. > >> Would the diskimage be floppy or hard disk? > > Both is supported by memdisk.
