> grub> root (hd0,0) > grub> setup (hd0,0) > grub> quit I thought you were referring to how to *load* FreeDOS from within GRUB, considering how that was the topic previously. But that's of course installing (legacy) GRUB, presumably into a different partition then the primary partition that you boot FreeDOS from. Using "sys c:" is indeed easy (using whatever letter currently represents the primary partition to boot) (more to the point would be "sys c: /bootonly", or "sys c: bootsect.bin /bootonly" for chainloading the file and leaving the current boot sector alone), assuming you booted into a DOS to use the usual FreeDOS SYS. So this set-up again has a requirement (of booting into a DOS first) that the GRUB 2 "freedos" command method doesn't have. But you would be right in now asserting now that the current FreeDOS installer needs that anyway, so overall installation might be easier using GRUB legacy. To clarify, switching from GRUB legacy to GRUB 2 for just one minor feature wouldn't be worth it usually too; I didn't mean to imply otherwise. And there's another (definitive) disadvantage of GRUB 2: it has a slightly less compatible licence, GNU GPL v3+ instead of v2+. Even if one prefers v3, it does lessen compatibility.
