I now have a "partially" bootable FreeDOS.
The key word is not "boot" but rather "status active". I tripped over
this issue in OS/2, but don't recall ever having an issue in DOS or Win.
It has booted to "Bad or missing Command Interpreter:
C"\Freedos\BIN\COMMAND.COM C'\fREEdos\BIN /E"1024 /P=C"\FDAUTO.BAT"
"Enter the full shell command line:"
THAT, I do recall seeing in the past. But in those cases I could boot a
utility floppy, and search for the location.
I just read the root directory of the FreeDOS USB stick. I did not find
a readme.txt telling me to set the partition active, and what to enter
after "Enter the full shell command line:". And couldn't FreeDOS
install do those things without me?
I assume it is looking for COMMAND.COM, and there is not a copy in the
root or BIN?
Can someone tell me what to enter after: "Enter the full shell command
line:" ?
TY
Ray
