Sorry I miss read in my first reply.
You want to boot from SD, never tried that. I have FreeDos installed on
a partition on my nix machine (second generaiton i7) and can chose it in
the GRUB menu). Maybe install FreeDos on a partition made with gparted
on the SD with your linux distro ?

Hi,
I am trying install FreeDOS on my computer (not virtual) now for a
while and failing long enough to acknowledge that I need to ask for
help.
Last time I installed DOS I was using a 486 with a diskette drive. My
daily driver is Linux since the last 20 years.
I have been using two 32gb SD-cards. When I write the ISO of my Linux
distro to the SD-cards I can boot from those SD cards without a problem.
When I write the FreeDOS ISO to the SD-cards or the FreeDOS USB
version , the IMG file, to the SD-cards it gives nothing. When I
select the device to boot from it just jumps back to the boot device
select menu of my BIOS. No error.
Have written the FreeDOS ISO to both DS-cards with check of the write
was correct. And also with the IMG file. Makes not difference.
I must be missing something obvious.
Would appreciate suggestions.
The computer I am trying to boot it from is this very modest mini-pc,
using the usb-port with a SD-to-usb adapter. Has an Intel Celeron J4115.

Thanks,

I guess there is different ways to install, I put the IMG on to a CD,
booted my IBM 486 100 Mhz with a floopy that lets me boot from CD,
then I install FreeDos to the CF-card (in a CF to IDE adapter), the
CF card I prepared with GParted on a nix machine, used <2 GB
partition and FAT16. I did the same thing on a 1000 Mhz Coppermine.
