How do I add floppy boot and CD-ROM boot to the 2000 boot menu? 1. To add “floppy boot,” do I only need to put the floppy’s boot sector bootflp.dat into c:\? I found that the boot sector contents of different boot floppies are not the same! Some can boot successfully, but using the same bootflp.dat to boot other floppies fails. How can I make a universal bootflp.dat? 2. The CD-ROM boot issue. In “http://www.ipdown.com/dosbbs/dispbbs.asp?BoardID=11&ID=2218&replyID=13796&skin=1” you said to modify “bytes 13 to 59 of BOOTCD.DAT” to the corresponding hard disk information. Is 13 to 59 in hex? But whether I modify it in decimal or hexadecimal, I still can’t get it to work. Is there anything else I need to pay attention to?

I’m here... As for making the floppy boot function that way, that method isn’t very practical. The best solution is to make a boot sector file specifically for calling the floppy. For example, that FDBOOT.BS.

Hehe, wengier, just explain it a bit. Everyone is anxiously waiting.

wengier, that fdboot.bs of yours should be universal, right? Upload one.

That file is already in the “MS-DOS 7.10 CD installation ISO edition” I uploaded last time.

Is that the boot disk made with diskemu, the one with many systems?

That file is in both types of DOS boot CDs I made (one is the “boot disk with many systems” mentioned above, and the other is the “MS-DOS 7.10 CD ISO installation edition”).

Found it, it’s the boota.bin file. But CD-ROM boot still didn’t work. About that bytes 13 to 59 issue, can you explain it more clearly? I believe your bootcd.dat is universal too. Upload one.

The universal boot file for CD-ROM boot is in any of the GRUB boot floppies I made; just download any one of them.
