"freedos" Command HowTo?

[Jake Thomas]

Hello again,

    One think I've been meaning to ask is how to use the freedos command. The 
Grub manual doesn't document it.

    You'd think it'd be as simple as "freedos [path to freedos kernel]". I 
remember trying to boot the FreeDOS kernel with Grub in the past and not
succeding. Wikipedia's FreeDOS article says that you can boot the FreeDOS 
kernel by "chainloader [path to FreeDOS kernel]" using Grub legacy. This did 
not work for me in Grub2, not even with --force.

     I haven't tried recently, I'm mainly asking for the proper way to boot 
FreeDOS with Grub if there is one.


Cheers,
Jake
