Hi Knute,
Can you help, please?... I finally installed FreeDOS into VirtualBox,
except at the very end of the install instead of the window where the
instructions say Now we boot FreeDOS in our virtual machine (select
1)... instead of that the DOS window says Bad or missing Command
Interpreter: C:\FDOS\BIN\command.com ...
Have you tried to boot with fewer drivers? Use the F5 or F8 hotkeys
when the kernel loads to skip all or selected drivers. Or, if that
works as expected, just use the menu provided by FreeDOS config sys:
It is possible that your EMS/UMB/XMS/HMA memory driver or disk cache
get confused which could make DOS disconnect from your virtual disk.
Of course it is also possible that you just have some failure in
installing all necessary boot files. Boot from the install CD or
ISO and look if you have command.com in c:\fdos\bin\ as expected.
Which version of FreeDOS were you installing from? One of the CD
ISO images, I assume? By making the ISO visible as a virtualbox
virtual CD? Or by burning it to real CD or DVD first? The latter
should not be necessary, I am just trying to gather more details.
Regards, Eric
