Hello all you froopy shroods!
I've been trying to get a Freedos bootable usb to load on my Thinkcenter M900 SSF.
I've gotten everything thing to load from the USB drive per the screenshot but right
after "SB Pro(1:Intel HDA) emulation at address 200, IRQ 7, DMA 1: enabled" I get
flashing prompt but no actual C:\ prompt. I can do nothing but ctrl-alt-delete to reboot.
fdconfig file:
!COUNTRY=001,858:\FREEDOS\BIN\COUNTRY.SYS

JEMMEX NOVCPI
Now, if I don't include the "JEMMEX NOVCPI" in the fdauto file, it won't load Real mode support and will only load Protected Mode support but it still hangs at the prompt. Otherwise, I get the included screenshot, again with a flashing cursor but it seems to just hang there.
Help?
