Hi,
I saw the Nov. 2006 message on Memdisk having a problem with ThinkPads. I also
saw the comment in the memdisk code enabling and disabling A20.
I've got a ThinkPad x61t that memdisk is not loading disk images on. The
symptom is that it gets as far as saying "Loading boot sector...
booting..."
Then image partially runs - FreeDOS prints out its kernel message and it's
warranty. FreeDos stops at the line " - InitDisk" and then hangs.
Is this a known problem? Is there any workaround?
Thanks,
Rudy

I'm starting to suspect a regression at least with the "raw" option in memdisk... -hpa
