Hi all.
Things worth trying:
* avoid DOS=HIGH
* avoid DOS=UMB
A more specific workaround might be adding parameters to MEMDISK for
additional system compatibility ("raw/bigraw").
See:
http://www.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php?title=MEMDISK#Set_memory_access_method_.28raw.2C_bigraw.2C_int_.2C_safeint.29
I don't know how the Syslinux (Isolinux?) bootmenu has been crafted, but
assuming it's text-only rather than a menu, maybe it's worthwile adding
a delay of 2 to 5 seconds before starting the default entry, thus giving
people the opportunity to select a MEMDISK entry with alternative
parameters.
As for FreeDOS 1.2 I'm happy it's being worked on and almost ready for
release. I dreaded package updates and always got stuck into scripting
batchfiles.
