...9; isolinux. I've created custom floppy disk image 8440kB size. I've put FreeDOS kernel and bootsector into the floppy. Boot process goes fine with this command: isolinux /boot/memdisk initrd=/ximg/fdos.img c=60 h=8 s=36 floppy The problems begin when I try to run FreeDOS memory manager emm386 from the floppy image. my config.sys: ... 1?DEVICE=HIMEM.EXE /VERBOSE 1?DEVICE=EMM386.EXE X=C000-C800 NOEMS /VERBOSE ... System hangs (freezes) just after emm386 is loaded, leaving all information about memory (UMB etc.). There is no any error, everything looks like it loaded OK, but it isn...

...; function which crashes the system DELIBERATELY (it puts the system in a cli/hlt/jmp loop.) I first thought it was specific to MEMDISK, but it's not; calling this function under just about any circumstances from within this version of DOS seems to crash the system hard. It's possible EMM386.EXE overrides this and installs something else, but I don't have a WinXP/ME version of EMM386.EXE to try with. This sucks, because there are pretty much no good alternatives. In real mode I can enter protected mode myself -- modulo A20 screwiness -- and take care of things, but if the mach...

Hi, I want to use PXELINUX to load a DOS disk image which I currently use for Win2K/XP unattended installs. I want to move away from reliance on specific NDIS2 drivers and use the 3Com UNDIS3C driver instead. I have used this successfully to start the MSClient, but the problem is that the UNDI and PXE layer take about 90K of base memory, which means that WINNT.EXE has insufficent memory to run

This is very close to working with the latest releases of the FreeDOS kernel and utilities. I just have one blocking problem.

I am using PXELINUX, ISOLINUX, and memdisk in my project (http://unattended.sourceforge.net/). When memdisk gained support for compressed images, I started using it because it is cool. I used gzip to compress floppy.img to create floppy.imz, and all was good. But now my users are complaining that they cannot use WinImage (a Windows floppy image editing tool) to edit my floppy.imz files. I have

I'm trying to use this universal DOS TCP/IP boot disk available here: http://members.iinet.net.au/~bdriver/bootdisk/ It requires an MS-DOS formatted disk created by Windows XP. It works great as a floppy but doesn't boot at all with memdisk. The problem can be simplified down to just the XP boot disk. If you make an MS-DOS startup disk with XP on a floppy, dd the floppy to an image

...ing me problems.... I even further tested the same image with reinserting the 98 command.com and the image worked just fine.. So acc to me the problem has to lie in me command.com as there is no real mode dos in ME.. Also try using umbpci.sys and lowdma.sys for managing memory in dos instead of emm386 or qemm386.. I suppose you better try out the Universal Boot Disk of Ramattack.. it'll give you all the solutions. Bye.

...BIOS update was, in fact, a self-extracting .exe file, and he'd extracted it. Finally getting the ok to take the system down, the following hilarity (for small values of hilarity) ensued. First, booting off unetbootin to freedos was fine... except it was try to guess which version - freedos + emm386 + himem, no himem, live CD only, or, finally, "no drivers loaded", which works. It gags on something orders of magnitude larger than it was written for, y'know. Then I discover that the builtin type command does *not* have /p, and there's no more command, and I should have read t...

Hello! Is it possible to load a virtual DOS Floppy with memdisk to do a few things (e.g. scan for viruses, copy a hard disk image from the network to the local disk) and continue booting from the local hard disk without a reboot? Cheers Alex

I have added instructions to memdisk.doc for how to disable MEMDISK. However, it's unlikely that this will work if you're running under DOS, since DOS will be very unhappy about drives changing underneath it.
