Hi,
some more information from this afternoon.
I've made a floppy set of the floppy version, with an P4 with freedos
1.2 with USB und floppy installed.
Booting from bootfloppy is verry slow, but okay.
Fdisk and format works perfect, installing allways stops after the
installer tries to copy from c:\temp\fdauto.tmp to c:\fdauto.bat.
error message : dos device not ready
I've tried two different CF-cards, no change in behaviour. I've tried to
copy files from cf card to floppy, gives the same error.
while copping the opposite way is no problem.
Both CF cards are readable and writeable in win10 via CF card adapter.
best regards
Frank

I am trying to install Freedos 1.2 or 1.3 on a 286 with a CF card.
Unfortunately, I don't have a floppy disk drive on my Win10 PC, so I make the
detour via this trick:

I tried to read that, but honestly, with the mistakes and factual
errors in the page, I got distracted.
Can you summarise what you are trying to do?
My impression is:
[1] attach CF card to Vbox VM as its hard disk – yes, that should work.
I describe how to do that onto a USB key in my tech blog, here:
https://liam-on-linux.livejournal.com/50416.html
[2] install DOS onto CF card — OK, easy
[3] move CF card to vintage PC and use it – OK, easy
What is the problem and where is it going wrong?
What make/model of 80286, just out of interest?
Considered putting a cheap USB floppy drive onto your Win10 machine?
