Solve : Editing config.sys?

Answer»

I am trying to edit a config.sys FILE to allow booting only from CD-ROM. This is the file that I have, but I haven't found a good explaination of what to edit. It needs to be generic, if possible, so it will work on different systems.

DEVICE=HIMEM.SYS /testmem:off
FILES=30
BUFFERS=20

DEVICE=cd1.SYS /D:tomato

rem DEVICE=cd1.SYS /D:tomato /P:1f0,14
rem DEVICE=cd1.SYS /D:tomato /P:170,15
rem DEVICE=cd1.SYS /D:tomato /P:170,10
rem DEVICE=cd1.SYS /D:tomato /P:1e8,12
rem DEVICE=cd1.SYS /D:tomato /P:1e8,11
rem DEVICE=cd1.SYS /D:tomato /P:168,10
rem DEVICE=cd1.SYS /D:tomato /P:168,9

LASTDRIVE=Z


This is the autoexec.bat file. It should give the PATH to the setup.exe. autoexec.bat and the SETUP folder are in the same root folder.

@ECHO off

MSCDEX.EXE \SETUP\98SE\SETUP.EXE
Why not GET the pc/s to BOOT from cdrom in the bios setup!
