Has anyone on the list actually had or does have doscmd up and running? I'm getting nowhere fast. ~/.doscmdrc is set up follows: assign A: /dev/rfd0.1440 1440 assign A: /dev/rfd0.720 720 assign hard boot_drive 1024 15 17 But doscmd never tries to read/boot/anything from the floppy drive. Needless to say it doesnt boot from boot_drive either, because I havent set it up yet. The documentation states that doscmd will first try to boot from the floppy drive(s), and then the image. I need to boot to the floppy to set up boot_drive, so this is a silly vicious circle :\ The floppy in the drive is a bootable MS-DOS floppy with the required files on it. When doscmd is started, the floppy is not even accessed... I presume it should be working, since it ships with FreeBSD. Any ideas?
