Answer» Hi!
I have two diskettes which I want to boot from. Installed is MS-DOS 6.22, diskette 1 is MS-DOS 7.10 Super Boot Disk and diskette 2 is CP/M86 1.1.
In case of MSD7.10 is possible to start AUTOEXEC.BAT - but after starting it outputs incorrect DOS version. In case of CP/M is not possible to do anything 'cause CP/M uses other filesystem. Both disks have boot-sector written.
My wish is to PERFORM boot from floppy by command - without true reboot. Is it by any way possible?
Thank you for patience. MiroI was SEARCHING the web and found NOTHING correct. Simple example of my Q is in retrocomputing - my hobby:
Commodore 128 came with new BASIC 7.0 with new command: BOOT At power on or reset it searches for boot sector on diskette. This process is possible to call by two ways: 1. Call boot procedure in ROM 2. use BOOT COMAND, even with options: BOOT, drive, UNIT - drive is for dual floppies (0 or 1) - unit is number of floppy unit in filesystem (8-30 > similar or DOS/WIN A--Z)
Something similar I need to find. MiroI'm not aware of any method by which this would be possible with MS-DOS. There are programs that can reboot but they do effectively the same thing as Control-Alt-Delete.
