Ray,
do you have more info?
which cdrom (the burned FreeDOS beta9 prerelease 4 ISO-file?) did you use, in which cdrom-drive?
fdosboot.bin contains 9FREEDOS. Kernel is dated 31 Jan 04. I didn't see the kernel identify itself during boot.
what if replacing AtapiCDD by another cdrom-driver?
Used a cdrom.sys V 4.14 internally dated Jan 99. CD is now readable.
search for VIDE-CDD.SYS. it's most stable vendor-supplied ATAPI cdrom-driver.
I tried that. Every link I found took me to DriverGuide.com and DGT.EXE which is a W32 file.
you succeeded in installing freedos from a booted cdrom but using AtapiCDD you get failure reading the same cdrom?
Yes
Ray
