From: tomleem [EMAIL PROTECTED] A peek at Fdauto.bat shows that your packet-driver aborts loading I see that my message from Oct-10 is blank on Sourceforge archives page so I will repost it here. -- Thanks, everyone. TCP/IP can be set with BOOTP now and seems to be working ok. http://img138.imageshack.us/img138/9059/10112006035337it6.png Arachne still doesn't work but let's first make sure that everything is fine with RTSPKT.

Re: [Freedos-user] Freedos on USB memor stick (partially solved)
That did not work. Look at the partitions in yast partitioner, it shows /dev/sdd a the disk drive, and /dev/sdd1 as a fat partition. executing ms-sys -s /dev/sdd ; sync, I get Public domain syslinux master boot record successfully written to /dev/sdd Executing syslinux /dev/sdd ; sync, I get syslinux: this doesn't look like a valid FAT filesystem Executing syslinux /dev/sdd ; sync, I get a successful install. Tried deleting the sdd1 partition, no luck. Tried copying the files to sdd, that went ok, but they ended up in sdd1. Does not make sense to me. I would like to have the whole 256 meg as dos drive, but the .bin and .exe flash burning files do not even show up when booted to dos.

Re: [Freedos-user] Freedos on USB memor stick (partially solved)
Hi Art: I am far from an expert here, but there are two models for booting from a USB stick. One is a superfloppy model where the entire USB stick is formatted as a single giant floppy disk and the other mode is where the USB stick has an MBR and is treated basically like a hard disk. See http://www.marlow.dk/site.php/tech/usbkeys Some (most?) BIOS's only support one mode or the other. Linux can support either, using device /dev/sda (superfloppy) or /dev/sda1 (like a hard disk). # To format the drive in superfloppy format, you simply do: mkdosfs -I /dev/sda # Formatting in harddisk requires more steps, if it's not allready formatted that way: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=512 count=1 to erase the start of the USB Key. After that you can do a fdisk /dev/sda and create a new FAT partition (FAT16 is suitable). To install a MBR and format the key afterwards, do install-mbr /dev/sda --force mkdosfs -I /dev/sda1 Have you checked to see if there is a D: drive? Have you used the attrib command to see if the files are hidden for some reason? Good luck! Let me know if either of these suggestions help. Mark Art Fore wrote: That did not work.

Re: [Freedos-user] Freedos on USB memor stick (partially solved)
I understand now a bit more from your info and Eric Auers. I have a couple of problems though. I do not have anything with dos on it other than a CDROM with freedos. If I boot with the CDROM, I cannot see the USB drives. Any way to do that? If I could, I would be there. Booting from USB drive, I cannot access any other drive except A: If I do fdisk from linux command line, I cannot see anything but the first harddrive and cannot change harddrives. So, how do I see the usb drive from either another USB drive or from the CEROM.

Re: [Freedos-user] Freedos on USB memor stick (partially solved)
Hi Art: Well, if the ls command from Linux sees the DOS files on the USB stick (that are booting) on either /dev/sdd or /dev/sdd1, then doing a cp to the appropriate device, where Linux should now see the DOS files and the ones you added, should put the files you want on a large USB disk. When you boot the USB stick, does it boot as A: or C:? It should boot to that prompt and a DIR command should show the DOS files (at least kernel.sys and command.com). Does it? Are you using the new FreeDOS 1.0 release? There was a nasty bug with booting USB sticks on machines without floppy disk drives in some earlier FreeDOS versions.
