Hi! Just out of curiosity...

FreeDOS pre-installed. But it's UEFI only (no BIOS) and any DOS requires a BIOS.
Is there a way to load a BIOS from an UEFI that lacks a CSM? SeaBIOS comes to mind... By loading something like a "BIOSEMU.EFI" third-party/external CSM, FreeDOS would again be bootable, even on GPT partitioning, because the protective MBR (PMBR) could be used for hybrid partitioning... Alternatively, FreeDOS could learn GPT natively. If anyone knows Clover (https://github.com/CloverHackyColor/CloverBootloader) -- this would be the reverse: Clover loads a UEFI on a BIOS system, while FreeDOS would require to load a BIOS on a UEFI system without a CSM. Is there anything in the pipeline for UEFI systems? Thanks, A. _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
