Dear all!
I’m trying to install FreeDOS (fdbasecd.iso) on a real (not virtual) machine
for the first time, and I’ve met some problems. At first I couldn’t install
FreeDOS at all, despite it was installed on VirtualBox flawlessly. Installation
went well, no errors or warnings, and after the final reboot I got blank black
screen with no reaction to any input, only power button could help.
It seems it was fixed with another options used while partitioning the disc,
but I’m not sure what certain option did the job.
But after all I still see some strange behavior in just installed system. If I
choose default second option in startup menu (Load freeDOS with EMM386+EMS and
SHARE), the screen gets filled with error message, and I still see no reaction
on keyboard or trackpad. Screen looks like this.
Bad or missing command interpreter: ÉÉÉ Enter the full shell command line: Bad

The other strange thing is that first (Load FreeDOS with EMM386, no EMS (most
UMBs), max RAM free) or third (Load FreeDOS including HIMEM XMS-memory driver)
option in startup menu works normally, as I see (not investigated seriously,
but at least it looks so). Fourth option can’t be chosen at all.
So as I’m new to this kind of OS I ask where can I read about this problem with
second menu option and how can I try to fix it, if it’s possible?
Just for now I’ve edited fdconfig.sys to hide menu and use the third option by
default, but it doesn’t look like a good solution.
What kind of hardware info may be helpful for solving this problem?
Thanks!
