AW: Booting RTEMS PC386 via dos prompt

[Bebbington, John - LT]

Thanks Angelo,

My problem is that I need to call other DOS programs at power-on, before
going on to boot the RTEMS software.  
This means first booting DOS and then calling the RTEMS program from the
hardisk. Can I do that with GRUB?

I have been looking at eXtender by Luca Abeni from
http://freedos-32.sourceforge.net/downloads.html  but had no luck so far.
