Re: [Freedos-user] BM cannot boot FD 1.2
Hello Ray, What about the KERNEL location in the tree? Prior to 1.2 it was in the root, now it is in FDOS\BIN. If I run SYS C: from a 1.1 Floppy, then copy 1.2 KRNEL386, as KERNEL, over the 1.1 KERNEL, should that leave me with the 1.2 kernel where it belongs on the drive? Huh? I would expect there to be a kernel.sys or fdkernel.sys in the root directory of the new FreeDOS 1.2 partition. Thank you! ___ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user

[Freedos-user] BM cannot boot FD 1.2
I am maintaining several machines that do serious work on FD. For several years they have all had FD 1.1. I just installed 1.2, basic, over 1.1 on one machine. FD seemed to install OK, and took over booting the partition as expected. FD 1.2 seemed to load OK. I then reactivated the boot manger. This BM and many versions of DOS go way back. I now have a coincidence. The 1.2 kernel has been renamed and moved, and The boot manager cannot boot the partition. Is there actually a cause involved here? I have pointed the BM to both Kernlxx.sys, command.com, and fdconfig.sys. I get "Can't load operating system. Press to reboot..." Ideas?
