Hi Rugxulo, nice wiki about installing FreeDOS in virtualbox :-) Actually people can use a lot of it for installing FreeDOS in any VM, or on any computer which has a completely empty harddisk yet.
http://www.freedos.org/wiki/index.php/VirtualBox_-_Chapter_8 makes me wonder if anybody has yet convinced the VirtualBox people to patch their PCI BIOS and whether other VM have the same problem or have simply been free of it all the time... Also, I wonder if somebody could make a PDF of all chapters in one file, in case some die-hard wants to install on their only computer and cannot read the wiki while installing ;-) I would also appreciate a text version, with text mock-ups of the screenshots, but that is probably asking too much.

Any recommendations regarding which FreeDOS disk to Rufusize? Are our ISOs all suitable? Do Ruffidea floppy work, too? > But anyways, VirtualBox should have no problem.
