when i first tried freedos i took and extra harddrive an put it in a
removable drive drawer and installed it as the only os on that drive.then
i can boot into it by using the bios to choose to boot off of ide2.
however my main harddrive has a dos formatted partition which is large
enough for freedos and the ap i am running with it.
the freedos installation from the cd says soemthing about the installation
on a harddrive overwriting the os so i was very nervous about trying to
install freedos on my main harddrive in the dos partition. i do not care
if i overwrite everything in that partition but i do not want to trash
my linux installation.
i can just copy freedos from the standalone harddrive to the dos
partition. will that work if i can figure out how then to use
chain load to have GRUB present the dos partition as a boot choice.
