Hello all,
I tried to install FreeDOS 1.0 on the same partition (C:) as
Win98SE using metakern, but ran into the following problem.
Here's what I did:

Hi again!
Dear, Bernd, everything had been fine (paths and filesizes)
but one thing: fdisk and bootmgr were returning wrong
bootsector dumps!
I got it back to Win98SE, and invoked bootfix. Unfortunately,
bootfix returns everything in a text (ascii) format, so I had
Hi again, Robert
I know my problem was confusion between MBR and the boot sector.
But anyway, fdisk and bootmgr should return the same data...

All right. To your judgement is presented a patch for the metakern
manual that I think will make things clearer for unexperienced users.
Hope it sounds OK:
The best way to install FreeDOS on a common partition with
another OS would be to make a dump of its bootsect

Yes, I enabled onboard audio (otherwise there's be no sound at

Hi all!
The author of mpxplay didn't answer me, so hereby am asking if
there's another way to cope with the problem. I am not
familliar with how an OS works but maybe there's a way to scan
and log all that the OS does so as to understand the cause of

Hi everybody and thanks for the feedback.
After futher experiments I fixed the problem by changing
mpxplay's buffering mode to that defined by the -bp key. And
then it started to work in the -scs VIA mode.
No sound in the SPB mode though. Same with QuickView: pretends
