Using MEMDISK in GRUB to boot FREEDOS from the local hard drive on later model
machines is what I am getting from you as a solution to boot FreeDOS from a
local Harddrive on a laptop. If you have any other solutions that would allow
me to boot FreeDOS from a Hard Drive I would be interested in learning. Once
again, I just want to boot FreeDOS from my Harddrive on a Centrino or Later
model PC. I have linux on this PC. I do not want to share any memory with
another Operating System. This is called 'Booting Native' as I understand
terminology. I want to boot FreeDos Native and then maybe, just maybe, put
Linux in a DOS Box of memory. Any other suggestions? Thanks for the help.

That is not "directly" bootable. It is a VirtualBox appliance, it is neant to
be loaded inside Virtualbox:

Then you will get a new Virtual Machine, when you initialyzed, it will boot
Linux
On the Desktop there are some Icons that will boot FreeDOS preconfigured.
I hope this help, feel free to ask again if needed.

I have loaded the FreeDOS onto my Hard drive with Linux(Unbuntu) but have not
been able to boot directly to FreeDOS. The Boot Loader is GRUB.I have placed
the FREE DOS info on aselection for GRUB. But still does not work. I am
looking for someone whom may know the GRUB commands for loading FREEDOS. Any
suggestions? Mark Spalenka markspalenka2...@yahoo.com

Hi,
I have been using FreeDOS on a Linux VM for a few years now and I made a
special image to make it public:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/33399957/FreeDOS/Ubuntu140432-DosemuLimpo-1.ova
* VirtualBox Appliance, just: Files > Inport appliance... and you have a
full VM
* Based on Ubuntu LTS with LXDE, as light as possible to remain usefull
* Fast access to host files using VirtualBox share
* Dosemu and FreeDOS fully preconfigured, can run graphic programs
* Network fully functional, can talk to any device on your network
* 3 FreeDOS instance can access the network and talk to each other too
* There are a few Dosemu patches applied for graphics and keyboard
Some of it (most) is in portuguese. If there is some interest I can make
an international version or some needed resource
