NTLDR - default to DOS and other questions
 
Hello all,

I've just configured an USB drive, using NTLDR, to show a multiboot
selection. Booting into DOS 7.x works. But although I've now seen quite
a number of example "boot.ini" files and websites about configuring it I've
stil got a few questions/problems though:

1) How do I set the default to DOS (instead of Windows) ?

2) How do I use the ARC naming convention to point to a DOS version ? Is
that at all possible (I've already tried, but failed).

Explanation of the above question: I intend to add a few other (D)OS
versions, and would like to put them all in their own sub-partitions (most
likely in an extended partition) (that way each OS will have its own set of
boot files). As I've got no idea with which letter those sub-partitions
will be referred to during the NTLDR boot process, using the ARC method
looks to be the best solution. *If* it can be made to work for DOS that is
....

Regards,
Rudy Wieser
