I followed the instructions here: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HARDWARE_Dell_Inspiron_E1405#Firmware_Upgrade_from_DELL Here's what I did: # emerge -u mtools syslinux # echo 'drive a: file="/boot/freedos.img"' > /etc/mtools/mtools.conf # echo 'mtools_lower_case=1' >> /etc/mtools/mtools.conf # mount /boot # cp /usr/lib/syslinux/memdisk /boot # mcopy Afud408.exe a: # mcopy A7270UMS.160 a: and added this to grub.conf: title FreeDOS kernel /memdisk initrd /freedos.img I can boot into FreeDOS just fine, but when I try to run the following, it just hangs: AFUD408 A7270UMS.160 I can't say that I really understand the process I went through above. Can anyone who does understand it tell me if there could be anything about this FreeDOS environment that is preventing the BIOS utility from functioning? - Grant -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
