Hi!
Actually FreeDOS may work with > 504 MB after all. You mentioned
that using a FAT16 CHS partition made with MS DOS FDISK boots
okay after you install FreeDOS on it, while a FAT32 partition
did not. Your FAT32 partition may have been CHS or LBA. If it
was LBA, maybe FAT32 works, but LBA does not work for booting
from your CF, for some unknown reason. So you could try FAT32
CHS. If it was CHS, maybe FAT32 CHS booting does not work, so
you could try FAT32 LBA instead ;-)
Of course you do not need to test either of the methods if you
are happy with the current working 504 MB FAT16 CHS boot drive.
You could still use the rest of the CF card as D: (etc.) drive(s)
with any suitable partition type (FAT16 or FAT32, CHS or LBA).
Note that FAT16 supports at most 2 GB per drive letter.
Regards, Eric
