If all is well, your pendrive's boot sector(s) use the 1021/124/62 geometry.
I think the partition is properly set as 1021/124/62 because the
desktop refused to boot Syslinux in the pendrive earlier. Since I had
set the geometry this way it can boot from the pendrive.
You can always use SYS
Hi Ranieri,
now I am booting FreeDOS from a FAT16 partition taking only the
last cylinder of the HD (8 MB). Perhaps I should start over with a
cleaner setup.
If your disk is more than 8 GB, the last cylinder cannot be
reached without LBA anyway, so FORCELBA should not make a
difference.
