Can someone give me some help with the boot files? I have been using
DRDOS since V 6, but FDOS is new to me. The machine is an AMD 2200,
single HDD, 100M Zip, CD-RW, CD-DVD-RW. DRDOS is also on C:. W98SE
will be. OS selection is done by Acronis OS Selector. I have a
similar setup - with an older version of FDOS - on another machine.
I have a fresh installation of the version below. The current
config.sys and autoexec.bat files are below that. They are basically
as-installed except for adding a couple utilities and attempting to
use some drivers from http://johnson.tmfc.net/freedos/frame.html
The usage for those drivers was clipped from the readmes, without much
real understanding on my part. In their current form:
Boot option 2 - EMX386 - stops while trying to load XDMA.
ATAPICDD loads the CD but not the DVD. XCDROM - if it's line is
selected - loads nothing.

Ray
