Hello everybody,

I'm new to FreeDOS, and I really like how it combines lots of free DOS
software in a single distro, making it more accessible and friendly for
the user. The documentation is very complete and software such as
FDIMPLES has great potential.

My problem:

I haven't been able to change the drive letter for the CD drive, no
matter how hard I try, it always defaults to the letter H:

It was a little hard for me to unravel cdrom.bat to make sense of how it
works but I managed to reduce the important part to this:

DEVLOAD /H UDVD2.SYS /D:FDCDX001
SHSUCDX /~ /D:FDCDX001,D

I also tried the /L switch but nothing makes it change its mind. It will
always default to the letter H.

I tried using other drivers that work well for me with DOS 6.22 like

VIDE-CDD.SYS /D:CD1
MSCDEX.EXE /D:CD1 /L:D

But no, the assigned letter is H again.

I tried emptying FDAUTO.BAT and FDCONFIG.SYS, creating a minimal
configuration (to see if something was conflicting) but there's no
way. I even thought it may be caused by HIMEMX or JEMM386, but it
doesn't seem to be the case, as the behavior persists even using HIMEM
and EMM386.

I'm running FreeDOS 1.3.

Any help or suggestions would be appreaciated.

Tauro
