I had my doubts that this was a problem with MEMDISK, it's worked well for
everything else so far. Strange things are to be expected considering the
source of the kernel :)
I will try to get that universal boot disk to work with FreeDOS, it's
kernel is even smaller than the XP one. I've got a feeling that all the
extra drivers that get loaded during the later part of the boot process
aren't going to behave though. The main feature I want is the PCI network
card auto-detection, it has detected and installed the right driver for
every card I've tried so far.
