Hi! :) Nice, but why a blog post and not a new wiki site? I think you should move it.
By the way we have already a similar page http://www.unet.univie.ac.at/~a0503736/php/drdoswiki/index.php?n=Main.USB merge it? Didn't you know that great page? :) The syslinux method is imho a bit complicated, I see no advantage in syslinux over grub/grub4dos. If you only want to use FreeDOS you also are not forced to use a bootmanager, you can simply install FreeDOS into MBR. It's easy, get the HP Drive Key (for Windows) insert a bootable floppy disk into A:\ and the rest is self self-explanatory. (If you have no legacy floppy you can use Virtual Floppy.) A last comment about http://ywesee.com/pmwiki.php/Site/FlashingBiosOfALinuxServer I really do not recommend to boot from USB before doing BIOS flash because BIOS flash is very risky and this approach is not tested/documented by the BIOS update developers, it can work and it can fail, do you want to be a tester? -mr Florian Xaver schrieb: > Hi, > > I fought some hours with a new USB stick to make it bootable in DOS.
