    1919For PC like hardware (pc386 BSP), the most succesfull way seems to be to use GRUB to boot RTEMS binaries. The instructions are available for booting directly from floppy/harddrive and also for PXE network boot using GRUB. See c/src/lib/libbsp/i386/pc386/HOWTO for more information.

     21Alternatively, you can boot from Dos using Luca Abeni's eXtender, available from http://freedos-32.sourceforge.net/downloads.php
     22This enables you to run DOS diagnostics and utilities (such as chkdsk) before startup.
     23To use eXtender, add the "x" command followed by your RTEMS image name to your autoexec.bat file. For example:
     24
     25x smart.exe
