hey guys. Iv implimented a windows 98 boot disk to my CD and a couple of other programs iv gotten to work by injecting them into the 98 image...but now id like to add something a simple command you see when i want to exit something i hit ESC and it brings me back to the prompt but i was wondering if i can make my own command (edit the .bat or w/e) to make the sytem reboot by typing reboot at the prompt etc anyone know how to do this?

You can use FreeDOS' fdapm to do that.

i have iot but they are .asm files after i unzip fdapm is their a way to impliment 1 or 2 core files to each image i have in the custom directory so that when you exit you can simply type reboot?

Download fdapm from
http://www.coli.uni-saarland.de/~eric/stuff/soft/
The .com file is in the bin directory.
Use the following in you batch file.
Code: Select all
fdapm WARMboot
or (Choose one of those commands)
fdapm COLDboot
WARMboot - perform a classical warm reboot (skips BIOS tests)
COLDboot - perform a (quite) cold boot (with BIOS tests)
For the other possibilities see:
http://help.fdos.org/en/hhstndrd/fdapm.htm
You can also make a reboot.bat file with this content. Then you can reboot you pc by calling reboot.bat in your scripts or from the command prompt.
Use the following in your scripts.
Code: Select all
CALL reboot.bat
or (Choose one of those commands)
CALL reboot (this will work also, I think)
At the command prompt, just type "reboot".
