Hi Michael:
I have two machines with problems booting USB sticks with FreeDOS
(but not MSDOS). I am going to try to replicate your results using
format 0.91v (from
http://www.coli.uni-saarland.de/~eric/stuff/soft/by-others/)
I assume you used command.com from the "Development"
branch of http://
Hi Michael:
I happen to have an "off-brand" 128MB USB stick. I used FORMAT
0.91V and the SYS and 32-bit kernel from fdos.org/kernel
(Development). I booted from a floppy disk and did a "format d:"
and "sys d:" to the USB stick. My primary 500MByte DOS partition
showed up as C: and my extended

That went fine. I then booted the USB stick. It boots to a C:

The A: for the USB stick sounds right, but I can't figure how you're
booting to a C: prompt through it. You don't have a BIOS

Good day, all:
If doing a "DIR A:" on a floppy disk with no visible files,
or a hard disk partition with no files, the DIR command does
not print the line showing the number of bytes free.
This appears to be intended in the routine dir_print_body
from the file dir.c.
Note that E_Other is define

Hello, all:
OK, I have arrived at home with the same 128MB memory stick. Prepared
just like Michael stated...development kernel, format 0.91V, etc..
I stuck it in the compaq computer I have at home and rebooted.
The interesting things are as follows:
WARNING: partition Pri:1 FS 06 has CHS =
OK, I can make this machine boot from the FreeDOS installation
on the hard drive...I believe it is the kernel from Beta9SR2 at
the moment...I get a new error, but it correctly identifies all the
partitions, boots to the correct one as C:, and can see them all,
even the stick:
