nopassany parameter causing trouble
...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 -> CD...

Thanks!
..., 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!

Testing Syslinux on Mazza PT-5VMD
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.

MEMDISK bug in Syslinux 3.10
...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.
