You're right. I'm just want to "TEST", to see if FreeDOS can work on Xeon server grade machine. It's works despite of few glitches.
Yes, I've been testing it on XEONs and no problems as yet. Did you notice any other glitches other than the this?
Out of interest, I think you said it would not boot? Can you explain the exact steps you used to tell it you wanted to be able to boot? I assume you were trying to actually boot the whole RAID5 array using the FreeDOS boot sector, the MBR from FreeDOS and the FreeDOS system files, is this correct?
The server will install 2003Server soon, just want to try FreeDOS.
Hmm, it might run faster on FreeDOS:)
It's wise to "Mirror" the system only. It's fun to know our client put everything on the RAID, even the system.
Yes, I think that's where a lot of people go wrong.
8Gb. Strangely, Dell latest BIOS's seem to be able to address large SCSI partitions without drivers, but I don't know how.
Strange that FreeDOS can see the full size 140GB, but MS-DOS just 8GB
This could well be a limitation with MS-DOS. There were certainly differences between MS-DOS 6.22 FDISK and the FDISK that ships with Win95/98/ME (FAT32 and "large" drives), but none of them are as nice as FreeDOS.
