Re: [Freedos-user] how to create a large freedos image

Hello,
I am not too familiar with DOS or FreeDos.

Can we run fdisk on a file? Don't we need a block device? The fdisk
should be from freedos, right?

[Freedos-user] how to create a large freedos image

[Kallol Biswas]

Hi,
   We need to create a large (16MB) freedos boot image that can be
used with grub.
Presently we use fdboot.img but it is too small for our application.

Any pointer on how to create a larger fdboot.img will be appreciated.

Kallol
