[Freedos-user] FreeDOS 1.0 test "invalid opcode"

2006-08-04 Thread Gordon . Schumacher
I've just installed yesterday's test ISO under Virtual PC 2004 SR1, and have run into an issue with it. I started up FD using option 3 (XMS only), and ran the MS LanMan setup program. When I was done, I used EDIT to clean up the AUTOEXEC.BAT and to merge its CONFIG.SYS into FDCONFIG.SYS. After

I have been made aware that there is no description of the error I was refering previously here on the list. That's true, sorry, it was described in BugZilla. But a brief overview is: - it requires Himem + FD Emm386 to be loaded - it occurs when FD Himem has been started with parameter /NOX2MAX3
