Hi,
I might be repeating some things here (and I'm no expert), but I don't

Hi again,
given that I have very little information about your problem and
situation, I just give you a very big pile of ideas - maybe there
is something useful in it, or maybe something to ponder further.

Ah, so you do not need Win98-DOS any more? That is easy :-)
Actually the question then becomes: Apart from the FreeDOS

Hi John,

BIOS and partitioning disagree about CHS geometry and
your partition type 0b is FAT32 CHS. You could switch
to FAT32 LBA where geometry is irrelevant. Note tha

John,
I've been using SuSE/openSUSE for over a decade without ever having seen a
boot menu that uses function keys for selection. This suggests you've been
using some boot loader other than one from openSUSE, one which was probably

I have a disk with Linux and win98 dos on it. I opt with function key
to select which OD.
Default is DOS. While in DOS, I executed sys c: from a floppy that I
