baredos boot ok
freedos1_20061018.img boot ok


both when they start they show the word FreeDOS, instead odin doesn't work, when it starts it shows the dots ... what's the difference from startup with "freedos" to startup with dots?

I partitioned and formatted a 1Gb compact flash with baredos and I did sys C: it told me "system transferred" but when I reset SBC188 it tells me: "Master boot loader not found"
