...on harddisks and removable disks (as the DOS kernel enumerates them) or using the NOPASSANY parameter for MEMDISK. Different output: * ISO9660 found: drive E0 with address 0800h (omitting nopassany) * Nothing found: drive 70 with address 0000h (nopassany specified) My expectation was that only floppydrives and USB/harddisk units would be hidden. (for that matter I'd prefer booting from USB FAT32 yet hide USB drive but not harddisk, but can't have it all). Original Boot order: BIOS -> CD -> Isolinux 4.04 -> Memdisk 4.04 -> FLOPPY.IMG Alternative with ISO in RAM: BIOS ->...

..., the 1.71MB + 50MB FreeDOS distro can be added to computer magazine's cdrom's as a promotion means. Also, this small bootcdrom allows for easy bios flashing (can't do that in Linux AFAIK). In short: no more "I have win2000/linux/whatever on my pc, how do I get into DOS without floppydrive to flash my bios?" Thank you very much, and keep working on such a great project!

Hi All, I was testing syslinux floppy on a Mazza MotherBoard, his chipset is VIA MVP3 (VT82C598MVP, VT82C586B), and Winbond W83877F/TF. After reading the floppy, I see 'boot failed', I have to ide disk in the system, only flash device. I used the -s option to build the floppy. Does Somebody know if the chipset is supported? I tested the floppy on toshiba laptop and it works very fine.

...d behaviour: Drive A: --> see contents of 360KB boot imagefile Drive B: --> see contents of 1.44MB physical diskette - without diskswapping/pausing diskswapping normally only happens if drive not ready or driveletters are pointing to same diskdrive. (DISKCOPY A: B: on a single-floppydrive system for example) Replacing only MEMDISK by v3.09 works. Guess I should have been testing earlier in order to help release a flawless v3.10, but I disliked signing up for even more mailinglists. Bernd
