Hello Salih, did you try to boot your image on real, but different hardware, like a standard PC? Tom -- ___ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user

MKEYB GR should swap 'Y' and 'Z'. Tom -- ___ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user

Hi Salih! Do you boot virtualbox with PXE and MEMDISK? Or do you configure virtualbox to use the img file as "normal floppy drive A: content"? As mentioned earlier using, PXE and MEMDISK can have side effects, for example less RAM free for HIMEM and EMM386. Also, try if things work better without EMM386. You can use F8 during boot to skip some config items once, without having to make a new img file. This can help with testing... Another idea is to install MEM on your img! Then you can use MEM with different options to learn more about your available memory. You can see differences which explain why KEYB fails to load.
