RxDOS ReadMe
The RxDOS executable distribution consists of the following files:
rxdosbio.sys
rxdos.sys
rxdoscmd.exe
rxdvdisk.sys
autoexec.def
config.def
makeboot.bat
rxd_boot.exe
The makeboot batch file is used to make bootable floppies. Run
makeboot without any arguments for help. It will use rxd_boot.exe to
write a boot sector, then copy all of the above files in their proper
order: rxdosbio.sys, rxdos.sys, rxdoscmd.exe, rxdvdisk.sys,
autoexec.def, config.def
DO NOT format a floppy disk with a label. Boot works by looking at the
first two entries in the root directory. A label will cause the boot
loader to think that the floppy is not a system or rxdos floppy (see
enhancement requests below).
