Re: [Freedos-user] Re: Will FreeDOS work from a primary slave partition?
Hi! 10--2004 02:33 [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Eric Auer) wrote to [EMAIL PROTECTED]: EA you can do even more: with a boot loader (lilo, grub, WinXP one...) EA you can boot FreeDOS from any partition on any sane int 13h device EA which is in FAT12/16/32 format. HOWEVER, the kernel will always search EA the config file on A: (if booted from ANY floppy) or C: (if booted from EA ANY harddisk), NOT on the current drive. But if you set (with help of SYS CONFIG) DLASORT=1 (to sort disks by drive order), then FreeDOS will assign C: to primary active partition on _real_ drive, not on first drive. EA The bad point: You need at least 1 file on C: even if the rest of EA FreeDOS is installed on another harddisk drive letter. Together with Why? EA Tyler I recently developed a quick and dirty patch where the config EA file can contain a (processed in 0th pass) BOOTDRIVE=X line which EA makes FreeDOS select drive X: and load the config file from there for EA the other passes. Ie. you in any case should have config.sys on C:, thus you required two config.sys-es. EA Trying to find the partition which contained the EA kernel would be a bonus but if the search FAILS, there must still be the EA fallback search config file on C:. Not need to search partition with kernel (especially because such search also may be false positive), better to make boot partition as current. This is enough to load (fd)config.sys from there, because it opened without explicit drive letter in name. --- SF.Net email is sponsored by Shop4tech.com-Lowest price on Blank Media 100pk Sonic DVD-R 4x for only $29 -100pk Sonic DVD+R for only $33 Save 50% off Retail on Ink Toner - Free Shipping and Free Gift. http://www.shop4tech.com/z/Inkjet_Cartridges/9_108_r285 ___ Freedos-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
Re: [Freedos-user] Re: Will FreeDOS work from a primary slave partition?
I remember instances with the PowerQuest BootMagic program (a bootloader) where problems occurred. You could set multiple primary partitions active. Disk1, multiple primary partitions, FAT filesystem. Say primary partition 2 contains MSDOS..but..you also make primary partition 1 visible. In that case, you boot from primary partition #2 (active), but primary partition #1 is actually C (#2 will be D:). Thus, MSDOS failed to find COMMAND.COM Does FreeDOS kernel handle this situation? most optimal search order(?): 1)bootdrive\fdconfig.sys 2)bootdrive\config.sys 3)C:\fdconfig.sys 4)C:\config.sys Bernd --- SF.Net email is sponsored by Shop4tech.com-Lowest price on Blank Media 100pk Sonic DVD-R 4x for only $29 -100pk Sonic DVD+R for only $33 Save 50% off Retail on Ink Toner - Free Shipping and Free Gift. http://www.shop4tech.com/z/Inkjet_Cartridges/9_108_r285 ___ Freedos-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
