Public bug reported: To repeat: * Grab freedos ISO from from http://www.freedos.org/download/ * Add it as a CD to your KVM guest * Boot and go through the defaults (I'm using a small - ~90MB - IDE hard drive raw image as the 1st IDE disk) * Go through all the defaults * Install FreeDOS to MBR (option 1 at the last question in the install - I also tried syslinux - it didn't help)
Watch it fail to reboot off the hard disk. It hangs for me at 'Booting from Hard disk...' (I also tried chainloading it off a Grub iso - didn't work, and I'm seeing the same symptom with OpenDOS).
