If you bought a Pocket386 and want to know the exact steps that I used
to install FreeDOS (using T2406 test release) on this micro laptop, I
wrote an article about it for Both.org:
"Running FreeDOS on legacy hardware"

Basically, the steps are:
1. Connect the CF card

PCMCIA slots were never directly supported by any DOS. But the OEM DOS
drivers will allow you the use of one piece of hardware in one slot. It
also appears you're following some ODI guide [1]. What does your NET.CFG
look like? What version of the driver are you using? It looks like
version 2.0

Is there any documentation included with the FA511 driver?
Using PCMCIA cards under DOS often required some "socket services" crap to
be installed. I had a network card working under DOS on a Toshiba of that
era. I'll look in my backups and see if I still have the files and/or

YES.
Unfortunately, the kernel looks for FDCONFIG.SYS and CONFIG.SYS
only (I'd kick the latter, BTW), so all FreeDOS kernels will share this
one file, except you patch the kernel.

In fact there is appinfo directory with fdkernel.lsm packaged within

OK, thanks. I see, so "install the kernel" is just actually

Yes, download the latest kernel. Unzip it and type
"sys c: fdkernel.sys"
Then you can copy this kernel to c: (has to be FAT32).
Open and edit boot.ini with an editor.
Add: "c:\fdkernel.sys=FreeDOS" and save the file.
Now you can make a autoexec.bat and (fd)config.sys.
