Hi Richard! > now it is only showing "FREEDOS", with the caret after it.
Probably cannot find a kernel? Different geometry / partition offset? > I essentially used the steps found here: > http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/BIOS_Update#FreeDOS_Environment > > Which is: > 1. zero out a 20mb file or use a physical flash stick. > 2. FAT format it. You mean make a FAT filesystem of 20 MB? An odd size for USB sticks... I would try 200 MB instead, FAT16 with LBA partition type... Did you use partitions at all? > 3. run sys-freedos.pl on it Note that you can override geometry and partition offset with extra command line options of sys-freedos.pl if you have to. Normally, partitions formatted within DOS / Win already have this set properly, as do sticks which simply had FAT32 filesystems on them when you bought them... > 4. copy over files from a Freedos 1.44mb disk image onto it. In particular kernel.sys config.sys command.com autoexec.bat but also all drivers that you need... Using a whole floppy full of DOS things is still only 1.4 MB and gives you more tools, drivers and stuff to use :-) I think something like ...x255x63 or ...x254x63 or ...x128x63 in a primary fat32 lba partition at offset 63 would be smooth.
