Re: [Freedos-kernel] Re: Will FreeDOS work from a primary slave partition?
Hi, Arkady V.Belousov escribiÃ: LG> Let's concentrate on bgfixing before the imminent FD1 release. I not object, but this question may be studied _for future releases_. Isn't? :) Of course. If it's not to be forgotten, I could annotate it on the post-1.0 table (currently a badly mixed list of missing tools, to be tidied up soon). Shall I proceed?

Any objections? LG> Isn't the "real bootable partition" always assigned to C:? Not completely. See initdisk.c:ReadAllPartitionTables() - in case of MS-DOS order there always searched first primary active partition on _first_ disk. (If there is no active partition, searched any first primary partition). Only in case of (FreeDOS featured) "sorted by drives Drive Letter Assignment" FreeDOS assigns C: to _real_ active partition (see how first loop searches real boot drive). BTW, I think this (slightly) misleading, when (boot) partition from secondary disk becomes C:. Again, I suggest, probably, better to _not_ make it C:, but in main.c:FreeDOSmain() make it default (to allow process (fd)config.sys from it).

BTW, what if FreeDOS will search (fd)config.sys not on C:, but on real bootable partition? Kernel knows which disk was used to boot (currently not preserved - at start of main.c:FreeDOSmain() LoL->BootDrive initialized to 1..3 for A:,B: and C:), and initdisk.c:ReadAllPartitionTables() may compute, which partition is booted from boot drive, so before calling DoConfig() consequent drive (instead C:) may be selected as default.
