Trying to boot from the 1.2 cd iso on 86box gave me an endless scroll of errors. Following the advice below (at the boot screen hit "tab" and then type "raw" at the end of the command line) fixed it Thanks! On 7/29/2018 11:05 AM, Mercury Thirteen via Freedos-user wrote: I get this every tim

I had a similar issue, but perhaps it was of a different nature. When I booted my VBox machine directly from the FDOS virtual CD, it refused to install. But when I inserted the FDOS helper bootable floppy and booted from there, the CD installation went just fine. Leroy Vargas On Sun, Jul 29, 2018

Hi! Now if you could enlighten us what "hitting tab" and "adding raw" after which command when in which file and in which editor means, it would be a lot easier for others to reproduce your repair :-) Thanks! Eric > It worked. Thank you very much. > On 7/29/2018 9:05 PM, Mercury Thirteen via

VirtualBox does support Fast A20, if that helps. I know because I use that technique in the Night kernel :) Sent from ProtonMail mobile Original Message On Jul 29, 2018, 3:03 PM, Eric Auer wrote: > Hi! > > 256 MB should be plenty, but I do not know > what the default configura
