Hi, I had installed FreeDOS and now I'm trying to to boot it using Grub, but I can't get it.
The partition in which I have installed FreeDOS is a logical partition (maybe that is the problem), called hda6 on linux. So I have been trying to boot by adding this entries to my Grub's menu.lst (a different one each try): # FreeDOS title FreeDOS root (hd0,5) # FreeDOS title FreeDOS+ root (hd0,5) chainloader +1 # FreeDOS title FreeDOS+ root (hd0,5) chainloader /freedos.bin # After doing "sys e: freedos.bin both" from the FreeDOS liveCD (E: is the partition where I've installed FreeDOS) When I select the FreeDOS entry from the Grub menu, appears a message saying "Starting FreeDOS" or something similar, but the PC freezes with a very loud Hard Disk sound and nothing happens. I have also tried those entries above with the "makeactive" option, but in that case an error message appears. Does anybody know what do I have to add to my Grub menu to be able to boot FreeDOS?
