Some of you already know that I had issues booting from my CF card (I am using a CF > IDE adapter).
Everything was set up in order. The device showed up in BIOS. I could fdisk, format, sys, copy anything I wanted.
But it just wouldn't boot from the CF no matter what I tried...
I assumed it was just a cheap card or adapter but then I found a tip on the internet (Source at the bottom).
He recommended using Puppy Linux. So I did that, booted the CD, created a ext2 partition and installed Puppy Linux onto the CF card. And bam it booted!
So I rebooted into my FreDOS CD, fdisked the drive, created a new FAT32 partition, rebooted and formatted the partition with the /s command.
Rebooted and bam! It booted!
So I then installed FreeDos (I chose the min. install) and all is good!
It boots, CD is working and I have mouse support. FreeDos gibtes you a start meny where you can choose the memory options (xms, ems and so on)...
