You might have mentioned this in your first message. :-)

This either means that the disk does not contain a MBR or that the BIOS
can not read it.

This really should not matter.

>CD is DFSee boot. Still "Non-Sys..."

That's odd. Do you get the same effect from any bootable CD? Did you try
an eCS 1.2 install Cd?

I can't say much useful about this. I've never tried to boot FreeDOS on
my 770x. I will note that the CD drive is sufficiently old to be picky
about the CD media. CR-Rs or not a problem. Some CD-RWs are unreadable.
