A very clever developer could write a "shim" to fit between the (U)EFI firmware and FreeDOS. It certainly is quite possible to do that. UEFI allows the loading of images, so you can just boot the shim off the FreeDOS partition, have it set up an emulated BIOS in very high memory, then boot FreeDOS itself. -- Tactical Nuclear Kittens ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Protect Your Site and Customers from Malware Attacks Learn about various malware tactics and how to avoid them.
