Hi Michael:
Thank you VERY MUCH for this information. I will do some more
experiments to try to narrow this down. What I was seeing
was things like "del/s" freezing the computer before completing.
Perhaps the disk was somehow corrupted. Or, maybe it was
the wrong data in the boot sector (from

Hi Arkady:
Ok, the BIOS provides support for DOS to recognize the partitions.
This doesn't work on anything like all BIOS's, but it does seem
to work on a lot of newer ones. I appreciate the clarification...

BIOS doesn't maps anything, this does OS. And disk C: always assigned

Hi Aitor:
I'm not positive, but I don't THINK GAG will recognize a
USB device unless the BIOS recognizes it. If you try this,
please let me know what you find out. I use GAG on all
of my machines...much easier to configure than GRUB.

Hi Bernd:
Oh, I forgot to mention that the "SYS" command takes care of copying
kernel.sys and command.com. Basically, if I copy the ODIN directory
into something sensible and do a few tweaks of autoexec.bat and
config.sys, then the USB stick boots and provides a good
FreeDOS environment.

I'm fiddling with booting FreeDOS from USB sticks. If
a computer has the correct BIOS, I have this working
well with MS-DOS and hope to get it running with FreeDOS.
How can I get a "clean" and reasonably easy install of
