might get closed-out during the flash by the BIOS, whereas when loaded
into RAM (as ramdisk) there is no chance of the BIOS closing off the
connection.

I'm fine with that. I just went about it in that manner because I was not
very sure how to get this done and more or less fumbl
I would like to know if the following is possible:
* USB thumb drive has grub-1.98 on hd(0,1) gpt layout (boot-bios is hd0,2)
* hd(0,1)/boot/freedos has files
autoexec.bat, command.com, config.sys, kernel.sys, sys.com
Un-tarred from freedos FDOEM.144 and copied into folder
* Boot into USB drive's

I would like to know if the following is possible:
* USB thumb drive has grub-1.98 on hd(0,1) gpt layout (boot-bios is hd0,2)
* hd(0,1)/boot/freedos has files
autoexec.bat, command.com, config.sys, kernel.sys, sys.com
Un-tarred from freedos FDOEM.144 and copied into folder
* Boot into USB drive's
