[Freedos-user] Dual booting Linux and FreeDOS

[Thomas Murray]

Is it possible to have a dual boot system (Linux and FreeDOS) using grub or 
grub4dos? From what I've seen from searching the web, a lot of people are 
having trouble with this kind of setup. Has there been any progress on this 
front? I really don't want to use a boot floppy if I don't have to, and I'd 
rather not have MSDOS on my computer as explained in the "GRUB for DOS 
How-To" that was posted on 2004-12-28. It was mentioned in that post that 
the DOS based GRUB will not run with all FreeDOS kernels. I assume that this 
means that some FreeDOS kernels will. Any ideas which ones will work?

Also, emulation from within Linux with DOSemu or BOCHS is not an option for 
me for I want to use FreeDOS to run a machine controller program (TurboCNC) 
and that program requires realtime access to the computer.

Thanks,
Tom Murray
