Hi there - new to this ML, but this thread showed up when I was looking for help on the exact same problem (UTM for Mac not booting FreeDOS) and I think I managed to solve it.
The solution seems to be to uncheck the "UEFI Boot" option in the QEMU settings pane when you edit the VM. I also had the FD13 boot floppy inserted into a virtual floppy drive, but I don't know if that mattered or not. The FreeDOS installer booted up, and I was able to partition and format the drive and am now installing FreeDOS. Everything looks good so far. -- BJ Yackley _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
