I've booted the FreeDOS install CD under BootCamp, but I didn't actually install FreeDOS there. http://www.freedos.org/news/imac/ IIRC, BootCamp really really expects to boot Windows, and even checks for the presence of NTLDR. I found that out when I hosed my Intel iMac by trying to install Fedora Core under BootCamp. I think there is a way to set up your BootCamp to be triple boot MacOSX/Windows/FreeDOS ... but I prefer the simplicity of running FreeDOS under a virtual environment such as Parallels. Until I retired my iMac, I always ran FreeDOS under Parallels. -jh ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
