This does not really concern me as I would only like to Run a DOS program
first (to check the serial port for a new RTEMS exe to be written to hard
drive) and then boot to RTEMS until machine is turned off. i.e. Never return
to DOS.<br>
I could probably do this via autoexec.bat?<br>

So what would be required on our part to test this? <br>
