Re: Re: installation problems

Hi all, I have a project proposal!

The FreeDOS kernel is called kernel.sys
The FreeDOS kernel loads fdconfig.sys, not config.sys, if both exist.
You can use another file instead of autoexec.bat by specifying (in *config.sys)
  SHELL=COMMAND.COM /P /K AUTOFD.BAT
(do not forget to write the path of command.com as well, if needed:
  SHELL=C:\FreeDos\bin\command.com c:\freedos\bin /e:512 /p /k autofd.bat )

Conclusion:
If we had a boot sector that could load either the MS Windows kernel or the
FreeDOS kernel, we could install FreeDOS and Win9x (or any FAT-using Windows,
even MS DOS) on the same drive and select which one to boot at boot time :-).
I mean, without the need to use LILO.

Alternatively, a standard DOS bootmanager that can pick one bootsector out of
a choice list will do the same (but cost 2 sectors diskspace more ;-)).

What DOS bootmanager would you suggest? Anybody wanting to write such an
integrated "FreeDOS/Win DUAL bootsector"?
