Good day, all: I just attempted to install FreeDOS on a partition on this laptop again. I copied the new, development, SYS.COM command to the root of a floppy disk image, created a CD, and booted the cd.
Everything is normal, so I entered "SYS C:". When I boot the disk partition, it begins to boot as A:! This causes great difficulty...it should be C:. My best theory at the moment is that, since SYS.COM was in the root directory of the boot media, it copied the floppy disk image boot sector and that is somehow different than a hard disk boot sector. I read the documentation page at http://freedos.sourceforge.net/kernel/docs/sys.htm but that didn't help me. The beta9 installation CD uses a file freedos.bss. Do I need to explicitely identify that?
