First-things-first Thnx a Lot for all the effort put in drbl. It is a beautifull tool for cloning.
I have a question that may be a little offtopic. But perhaps someone can help me with it.
Is it possible to adjust the freedos image? i would like to adjust the autoexec.bat and change the menu items. perhaps load some more dos-tooling.
how can i modify all the files in fdos1440_drbl.img or perhaps make new one?
how to create an freedos image.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
freedos image is in /tftpboot/nbi_img/fdos1440_drbl.img in the server, you can use regular mount command to mount it, like
mount -t vfat -o loop /tftpboot/nbi_img/fdos1440_drbl.img /mnt
then you can "cd /mnt" to do whatever you want.
One thing to remember, if you modify text file in that image, like /mnt/freedos/fdauto.bat, remember to use "unix2dos" command to convert it to dos format, otherwise it won't run normally.

That works just beautifully. Thanx for the awnser. I would like to ask one more question.
Can i create my own dos boot image file and use it in clonezilla?
I tried dd with an bootable dos floppy. It didn't work (it looped)
What is the correct way to create an bootable dos image?
If should work if the dos image is a raw image file. You can dump a image from your bootable floppy by dd (Linux), winimage (windows) or rawwrite for windows (http://uranus.it.swin.edu.au/~jn/linux/rawwrite.htm).
Just replace /tftpboot/nbi_img/fdos1440_drbl.img by your new image, or you can write a config block in /tftpboot/nbi_img/pxelinux.cfg/default.

Yes it is working. Thanx again.
