Hi, I thought it should work with normal GRUB as well, but it didn't. Now I have GRUB4DOS as well (actually now I have 3 boot-loaders in chain - I need to make clean things someday).
It almost works! GRUB4DOS loads freedos.bss well, so FreeDOS starts. But it sees the FAT32 partition of my primary HDD as drive C:, and sees the FAT32 partition of my secondary HDD (where FreeDOS is installed - however it was my primary HDD before) as drive D:. So it actually asks for the location of the command interpreter, and of course, fdconfig.sys and fdauto.bat won't get executed. Now what can I do to make FreeDOS see D: as C: and vica-versa? Or how can I tell it to look for it's stuffs on drive D:? So I'd like to swap those drives (but only for FreeDOS) or I'd like to tell FreeDOS to use drive D: instead.
