My FreeDOS boot CD halts with an error with the development kernel.
It is inconsistent booting with the Beta9SR1 CD. This
needs a bit more research to see why it booted the first time.
It may have been the difference between a restart and a cold boot.
That, I believe, is a bug in both of those kernels. I have not
tried all of the stable kernels you listed.

Good morning:
In all of my flailing around about MBR's, I do believe that I have
found a kernel bug. The failure of the FreeDOS kernel to initialize
with the "incorrect" MBR looks like a bug. It is impossible to use
FDISK to correct the MBR when the kernel won't initialize. :-)
(Yes, I can use a different operating system to fix it).
all that's needed is a simple FDISK /MBR ? a freedos bootdisk does boot,
or also hangs on harddisk detection?
How do I report the bug? I tried the bugzilla link from the
freedos.org home page, but it won't let me create an account.
The bug is that, with an apparently incorrect MBR, the development
kernel refuses to boot.
and stable kernel 2034, 2035 and 2035a? they do boot with this incorrect
MBR?
Bugzilla was accessible last night, but looks like Jim Hall disabled it
again for a while.
