Subject: [opendos] Yet another bug...

I have verified and confirmed a problem with OpenDOS that M$DOS 
doesn't have - OD won't boot from a second partition.

M$DOS doesn't care as long as the partition is primary and bootable, 
but when I try OD on it, it hangs with the message "Can't load DOS 
file."

However, OD boots successfully from the first partition on the hard 
disk, and M$DOS does so from EITHER one.  So, wherein lies the 
problem?

I have posted previously on this, and was ignored by all but one 
person, and that person seemed to be condescending (although I may be 
wrong).  He stated that I should try a boot manager, to which I 
responded that I HAVE one, and I sent him a(n) (old)  copy.  It 
happens to be freeware, and can be obtained from:

ranish AT intercom DOT com

Please respond only to the list or to me personally, since I will 
receive both.

Thanks to all...

Jim
