There are various ways to reboot: * press powerswitch on your machine, twice I guess :) * press reset button on your machine * press control, alt and delete keys on keyboard simultaneously * use some software to reboot the machine. There are many programs that can perform reboots. FreeDOS by default provides FDISK and FDAPM for this: * FDISK /REBOOT * FDAPM WARMBOOT Most convenient would be if the shell or a memory driver would provide a reboot/restart/reset command, but alas. You might be able to fix this issue permanently on an installed FreeDOS on your machine by replacing "ALIAS restart = fdapm warmboot" by "ALIAS restart = fdisk /reboot" hope that helps. Other issues were with the keyboard driver, requiring /NOHI as well as an issue with HIMEM/EMM386 combined with DEVLOAD /H , which as workaround can be fixed by removing the (first) /H part in autoexec.bat's DEVLOAD line (used for UIDE if I remember correctly).
