Hello. I have an old AT computer with FreeDOS 1.2 installed on it. The problem here is that when i type "shutdown", it doesn't shut down in the "It's now safe to turn off your computer" way, instead it tries to shut down like it is an ATX motherboard. The result is this:
C:\>shutdown
Performing action: POWEROFF
Turning OFF system...
Calling int28 so MSCLIENT can flush...
Resetting DOS filesystem and BIOS disk handler... done.
Giving disk handlers some time... Spinning down..... Disks stopped.
OFF failed - using SUSPEND.
Warming up....... Back...
Back on...
C:\>
Of course it's going to fail, because it's an AT motherboard, and the last step of shutdown procedure must be done manually with the power button.
Can this be fixed so it shuts down properly for an AT motherboard?
If this thread is in the wrong forum section and instead should be in the DOS section or somewhere else, please move it.
