Thanks to all of you that have helped me with this problem. It could
have taken ages to test and understand what was happening...
Many Thanks to Eric Auer who had a LOT of patience with me, I manage to
make it run. So here is my minimalistic setup. I hope that someone can
publish it somewhere...
1) Have a directory with the all the CD content, let's call it
/mnt/dados/CDROM, inside it create a single directory called
"*isolinux*" (I was not able to change it's name)
2) Have a bootable floppy, that includes the CDROM driver. Create an
image in the .../CDROM/FreeDOS directory with
*dd if=/dev/fd0 of=FreeDOS.img*
3) Download Syslinux from
<http://syslinux.zytor.com/wiki/index.php/ISOLINUX>, in a temporary
directory. Copy the files core/*isolinux.bin* and memdisk/*memdisk* into
the .../CDROM/isolinux directory (no subdirectories).
4) in the isolinux directory create this *isolinux.cfg* simple file
-------isolinux.cfg--------
*default FreeDOS
label FreeDOS
kernel /isolinux/memdisk
append initrd=/FreeDOS/FreeDOS.img
*--------------------------
5) create the .ISO with mkisofs:
*mkisofs -R -v -V FreeDOS-1.x \
-b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c isolinux/boot.cat \
-no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table \
-o /mnt/dados/FreeDOS-1.x.iso \
/mnt/dados/CDROM
*
That is all folks, I am amazed how this simple thing gets overly complex
in all explanations in the internet!!!
