Hi,
I want to make an USB dual boot DOS - Linux.
If linux is set by default, it is ok.
If DOS is set by default, it doesn't start.
I've set DOS on the USB key (OK), and take dos.bss with dd command (dd
if=/dev/sdb of=./dos.bss bs=512 count=1).
Syslinux version = 4.02.
My Syslinux.cfg is:
prompt 1
timeout 50
default dos
# not needed for dos test
DISPLAY Menu.txt
console 0
label dos
kernel /dos.bss
label TCL
kernel /bzImage
append boot=/ initrd=/tinycore.gz kmap=fr-latin9 text
consoleblank=0
Nothing is done after menu.txt display when power on: only display some
3 unreadable characters...
Boot is ok if TCL is default.
What is the problem (Syslinux.cfg file configuration? Dos.bss data? ...)
Thanks
Daniel.
