October 6, 20169 yr I'm looking for an image of a DOS based bootable USB stick that can be rebuild on a clean stick with Mac and/or Linux tools only. For the purpose of flashing controllers a DOS environment is still very common. Although newer tools might run in UEFI shell, the old 32bit utilities won't. It seems not so trivial to get a bootable USB stick if you don't have a Windows machine. Do we have some experienced Mac and/or Linux users that can provide such an image along with some instructions how to rebuild it on a target USB stick? Thank you!
October 6, 20169 yr Would something like this work for you? I've used it in the past and it worked well for my needs. https://unetbootin.github.io/
October 7, 20169 yr Author Thank you, looks promising. The only thing that seems missing is a DOS image. Have you successfully created a DOS bootable stick? The utility seems very linux centered. I will see if I can find an instruction how to pull an image of an USB stick with linux. All ideas are welcome!
October 8, 20169 yr I have. You can select FreeDOS from the menu to get it installed. It will drop you into a DOS prompt when you boot off flash drive. I just used it last week to upgrade the bios of a supermicro board at work. I used it today to image UBCD onto a flash drive on my mac in order to run DBAN.
