...to the next, so very probably it's a Vmware error (incomplete or buggy emulation). Booting through Smart Boot Manager did not help, unfortunately. 2.xx series works OK with Vmware beta versions, 3.xx series only in older Beta release. Bernd --------------- dumpfile: http://fdos.org/ripcord/beta9sr1/other/misc/vmware-vmx-9704.dmp http://fdos.org/ripcord/beta9sr1/other/misc/badcdrom.zip are 2 ISO files. In VMware 5 build 11888 (Win32) one ISO is working, 1 is failing. Both use the Isolinux bootloader, also used on many Linux distribution cdroms / DVDs. However the working one has version 2.xx,...

...ctly through MEMDISK, or booting to A:), and not when using a bootdisk directly or booting a bootdisk directly which has SYSLINUX on it. configuration: bootable cdrom with Isolinux 2.11/2.12pre9 as bootloader. 1.44MB bootdisk with MSDOS.SYS/IO.SYS and the UDMA2 dos driver, http://fdos.org/ripcord/beta9sr1/other/misc/Udma2_16.zip (sourcecode included) DEVICE=UDMA2.SYS SHELL=A:\COMMAND.COM A:\ /D /P Doesn't Isolinux clear everything before a localboot 0x00 ? I guess not, as sometimes the eltorito.sys driver from www.nu2.nu also still loads, which means parts of Eltorito booting are still present...

...ot Manager into a COM32 module for Syslinux. Might be a bit more usefull than Syslinux -> memdisk -> imagefile -> Smart Boot Manager ( -> 'boot from cd -> cdrom ) I've inserted it into this diskette image: http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/distributions/beta9sr1/fdos1440.img That's nice to boot cdroms. There's no way to boot ISOs (yet?). A Linux floppy with kernel+initrd should be able to mount an ISO or ZISOFS file (Knoppix does this for example) To my knowledge, no one has extracted SBM's eltorito stack yet. It would have been usefull as pa...
