Are you certain that the machine you are trying to install FreeDOS is not UEFI
only and supports BIOS (Legacy) boot? And, that is enabled in the BIOS settings?
Most modern Linux installers can boot both ways. Unfortunately, UEFI is not an
option for FreeDOS at present.
No, I am not. I assumed 'If I can boot Linux install media then it must
also work for FreeDOS'. I know 'secured boot' is disabled, I get that
message in Bios. But the USB media listing starts with UEFI , so yes,
that is the problem.
So at least that makes sense now.
The new old computer I bought to use for FreeDOS also has it's
challenges. It does not seems to support 'boot form CD-rom'. And the
diskette station is broken.
Because I have a module to replace the internal hard disk with an
SD-card and I remembered I still have a computer in my garage I had
forgotten I probably can install FreeDOS on an SD-card with that
computer. And then install that SD-card as hard disk in the old laptop.
