Hi all,
I came across an old IBM laptop, and I want to try dual booting FreeDOS and ArcaOS; possibly even trpple boot MS-DOS if I can find media that works. For this particual combo, I have not come across any guides; so links [if existant] will be helpful.
What works: I can boot this machine, and load FreeDOS installation from a USB stick. I do not have any means to write CD ROM images [don't have disks] nor do I have a CD ROM drive outside the target machine. If CD ROM is absolutely needed for something, there's a chicken and egg problem.
As I write this, I'm downloading an ArcaOS image I mean to put on a different USB stick.
For dual (or tripple) booting FreeDOS and ArcaOS, what are the steps I need to take, and in what order? So far, I'm not familiar with Airboot, which I believe is a boot manager that comes with ArcaOS. I am totally open to different boot managers, as long as they're relatively hassle free. I remember having issues with eComStation and GRUB in the past; they didn't mix well.
So, again, what's the best way to partition the hard drive, verify that it's still good, and in what order do I install the various operating systems?
