I have dual boot FreeDOS and WIndows 7 on one spare retro-ish computer that I dedicated to it. When on WIndows I'm connected to the network and also I can natively see FAT32 partition that is represented by FreeDOS. Then my custom UEFI boot manager loads FreeDOS with all the stuff desired for a

Yep, that is correct. Due to it, I had to recompile my own OpenWatcom build using a different extender for runtime to continue using it (which is fine). I also continue investigating the root cause of that limitation. Just spoke to rEFInd developer to assess his opinion. Seems that he shares one
