Re: [Freedos-user] crash with balder
Hi James, When I boot balder10.img from dosbox, it says PCI BIOS Invalid; XDMA not loaded!. I'd flash my bios from dosbox but I doubt that is a good idea. I put a screen capture of dos box: http://lockie.ca/test/boot_000.png Dosbox has nothing to do with your real hardware at all. Much worse than dosemu. So you will not even be able to flash from there. It may indeed be the case that there is Linux software for flashing your BIOS directly, but you should NOT use any kind of VIRTUAL dos for that... Eric PS: XDMA is the harddisk udma driver - I think it should not be loaded by default, but only on user request. - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

Re: [Freedos-user] crash with balder
Hi again, Now for the 1.0 ISO I am absolutely sure that it does have a menu with several choices - more than just pressing return. www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/distributions/1.0/fdbasecd.iso doesn't. I ran balder in dosbox and it worked but I can't burn it to cd because k3b says it is invalid (maybe because it is a floppy image. I downloaded the ISO myself and got the md5sum: c9bfcf2d08dbe8bdb1fe95fb339e0b2b fdbasecd.iso (812 bytes) I have also tested it with k3b: You select Extras - CD - Burn CD Image file. This is k3b version 0.11, I am sure your version of k3b has even more functions :-). The exact menu options are: 1. continue booting from CD 2. boot from the first hard drive 3. boot from floppy 4. skip CD and try first boot device Yes and after you select booting from CD you get the NEXT menu which should give you several options again. The next menu may have a shorter timeout and select some default by itself if you do not press a key on time, but the next menu does exist :-). Eric - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
