Hello,

Host OS: Windows 8.1 Enterprise 6.3.9600
Guest OS: Freedos 1.2 (FD12CD.iso)

Problem: FreeDOS installed from iso. When trying to boot for the first time it freezes on "Booting from local disk..."

Processor usage is 100% but after 1h nothing changes.
Any suggestions?

Hyper-V in windows is off.

Attached is log file

TIA

Issue solved,
Apparently RAM was the problem. It needed at least 512MB to properly install FreeDOS,

Great! Glad you kept up the hunt and found a solution.
