I thought ramdisks make fine temporary storage? No need to mount 
harddisk then. It seems a bit strange to claim FreeDOS (or 
DJGPP-compiled flashrom) ruined your flash image. I guess file hashes 
would give a definitive answer to what's the issue.

I have to admit though that sometimes that FreeDOS kernel has had some 
FAT-related issues, no guarantee they're all solved.


goodluck with CoreBoot as well! So far the Asrock E350 board seems best 
to experiment with, though I'd like the fanless/passive Asus E350 board 
instead.
