You can follow the instruction given into the Wiki to build a bootable ISO image, thanks to Syslinux.
Afterward, you may burn it onto a CD or test it through a virtual machine.
Following our post about FreeDOS virtualization, we now detail us the steps to boot the host PC with the virtualized hard disk.
1- Do a copy of the virtual hard disk’s image.
$ cd /tmp
$ cp -v /vm/KVM/freedos.img .`/vm/KVM/freedos.img' -> `./freedos.img'
2- Compress the image : mandatory (¡.3)
$ gzip -v freedos.imgfreedos.img: 76.6% -- replaced with freedos.img.gz
3- Create a directory near SysLinux in which the image will be stored.
$ sudo mkdir /boot/OSPassword:
$ sudo mv -v /tmp/freedos.img.gz /boot/OS/`/tmp/freedos.img.gz' -> `/boot/OS/freedos.img.gz'
4- Add a new sub-menu into SysLinux. (¡.4)
$ sudo nano /boot/syslinux/syslinux.cfgPassword:
LABEL freedos MENU LABEL Free^DOS LINUX memdisk INITRD ../OS/freedos.img.gz APPEND raw
5- Restart computer …
6- When the menu of SysLinux is displayed : press the [ D ] key to boot FreeDOS. (¡.1) (¡.2)
