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:
Name Flags Part Type FS Type
-------------------------------------------------------------
hde1 Boot Primary W95 FAT32 (LBA)
hde2 Primary Linux ReiserFS
hde3 Primary Linux swap / Solaris
hde4 Primary 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?
