Booting FreeDOS with Grub

[John Westerlage]

I wonder if anyone can give me any pointers?

I have a Linux box, and have just created a FreeDOS
partition on it, and installed FreeDOS.

It works fine, and I can run the programs I want -
the only problem is that I cannot boot except with the
FreeDOS disk.

I would like to make a grub entry that will allow me to boot
FreeDOS from the boot menu at power-up.

This is the only grub entry I came up with, but it does not
work. I don't remember where I got the entry, but it is
apparently not correct beyond the title and root.

#
#
title FreeDOS
root (hd0,1)
kernel /data/memdisk
append initrd=data/fdosc.gz c=40 h=16 s=63 harddisk
boot
#
#

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

How about (untested):

title FreeDOS
root (hd0,1)
chainloader +1
boot

?
