What do you mean by "doesn't seem to be a way out" ?

@Christian:
the autoexec.bat on my Live-CD does "devload usbdisk.sys" and then

So there are apparently no "redirector (for example, *CDEX) CDS entries"

As regards the time out issue, before continuing, I understand the

Just a quick possible issue: what happens if you boot the offered ISO
from USB CD? As the HDD emulation part is read-only, while your USB
drivers reset

I am a bit overwhelmed by the discussion following my post. I will try to
address some points.
In my opinion the CD should be easily usable by first-time FreeDOS users and
not only by experienced DOS developers. This is the view I had when testing
the CD.

I think it's a shortcoming of the redirector interface or implementation
if/when/that character devices do not show up in redirected directories.
Function 2F.1223 appears to be intended to allow the redirector to detect

Hi Jeremy,
earlier in the thread, people said it is hard to find out
which drive letters are used in a fool-proof way... Also,
I will not have "DOS time" for the rest of this week - so
if you can come up with something magic, you are welcome.
Thanks, Eric :-)

I did a test of this CD too. First I would suggest to make an El-Torito hard
