Is your partition for Freedos marked bootable? Is it
a primary partition (though I'm not sure if Grub cares
or not).

Hallo,
some time ago I've installed FreeDOS (beside the
other OS-es), and it was
working fine. My disk has been divided in following
way:
NameFlags Part Type FS Type
-
hde1BootPrimary W95 FAT32
(LBA)
hde2Primary Linux ReiserFS
hde3Primary Linux swap /
Solaris
hde4Primary NetBSD
But recently I decided to upgrade FreeDOS 0.9x to
the new V1.0 - and that's
cause of my problem.
At the beginning, I made the installation starting
from installing FreeDOS,
and then Linux and NetBSD has been installed. Of
course, I'm unable to do
this in such way now - I don't want to clean the
disk. I made the
installation from CD - downloaded from
FreeDOS-mirror - but FreeDOS doesn't
boot, using GRUB, anymore. My GRUB FreeDOS-related
section looks like this:
title FreeDOS
root(hd0,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1
...and it was working before FreeDOS upgrade.
I'm unable to fix this. I've found some tips using
the Google - but none of
them fix the problem. Booting from CD and then
trying sys a: c: didn't
make any better (although there was message system
transferred). Now I can
only boot from FreeDOS-CD, and only then access DOS
partition.
My question is, of course, what should I do to make
FreeDOS boot like
before - directly from HDD, using GRUB?
I read the page
http://fd-doc.sourceforge.net/faq/cgi-bin/viewfaq.cgi?faq=Installing_FreeDOS/23
where I saw, that the FreeDOS' problems with GRUB
are nothing new - first
messages are dated for 2003. I really can't
uderstand, why the FreeDOS
creators seem to be ignoring this problem since 3
years - although it's
quite essential issue to have possibility just to
install and run FreeDOS,
without a need to spend hours looking (fruitlessy)
for the solution.
Is somebody able to help me?
