This is in contrast to MS-DOS and FreeDOS, where the hidden sectors are relative to the container (Disk or extended partition start).
EDR uses the BPB_HIDDEN internally to do the sector calculation…

If deleting a partition and re-creating it afterwards with Free FDISK, SvarDOS "installs" into it. But this should fail, because actually the partition is not properly set up without running FORMAT. T…

I configured a VBox VM with an empty (no partitions) disk. Then I attached the SvarDOS USB bootable image as a secondary (slave) disk. Instructed VBox to boot from the secondary disk (through the F12 …

At least the release version 2.18 and later versions somewhat randomly crash. I will attach a floppy image for use with QEMU or similar where it crashes early, even before outputting the header and us…

It is possible to set env variables in CONFIG.SYS with EDR-DOS. It would be nice to have these variables land in SvarCOM's master environment.
SvarCOM is already accessing the EDR config environment …

The EDR kernel loads command.com differently than the FreeDOS kernel. SvarCOM should be able to detect the EDR kernel and figure out:
- Is it init time? If yes:
- Was F5 pressed? If not:
- Was F8 …

Bernd shared interesting thoughts about what could be displayed by ver:

Since the migration to EDR + the MBR-aware installer, the USB boot is most probably broken.

Willi Spiegl reported a Division Error on one of his PCs when booting the EDR kernel. I am afraid that a dump of the disk is needed to debug this, as my first guess is that it as something to do with …

This is similar to #101 but not exactly the same scenario.
When I have a `SHELL=COMMAND.COM` in CONFIG.SYS, the kernel appears to copy it as-is into COMSPEC, so I end up with a relative COMSPEC (as…
