Greetings,
Not sure about first question, but I suspect that DOS can't see the DOC because of overwriting the M-SYS boot block.
The Doc normally loads a BIOS extender from block 0 on power up which the BIOS runs. The extender hooks int 13 so that DOS will see it as a drive.
If block 0 is overwritten, that will fail.
G'day, sjames

Dear Mr Ronald G
Now I have two issues about Linux-BIOS booting IDE ,I hope you can help me!
1)I hope my computer boot from Linux-BIOS and load kernel from IDE harddisk, not from DOC.SO I add "BOOT_IDE=1" into m758lmr+.config ,but when I use the command as follow: linuxbios.init m758lmr+.config ,linux.bin.gz, linuxbios.strip and docipl can not be created.(Before I add BOOT_IDE , the command was worked well),why?
2)In linux ,After I insert two modules the DOC2000 and Docprobe (doc_config_location=0xfffc8000 )and use command "flash_on",I can recognize DOC . The problem is that I can not recognize DOC in DOS.(I would like to use tooling such as DINFO or DFORMAT to serch DOC,but failed),why?
the hardware : a. pcchips m758lmr+ b. two bios :linuxbios and normal bios the kernel of linux is 2.4.19
