Hallo Klaus, Ich bin leider etwas spät dran. Versuch doch mal FD 1.3 bzw. die aktuellere Testversion FDT240x (live CD) unter: https://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/distributions/test/ Das Problem, dass ich in deiner Beschreibung sehe, ist, daß die FreeDOS ISO oft zweimal gebootet werden muß, einmal um die Festplatte zu partitionieren (fdisk) - das erfordert zwingend einen Neustart, beim zweiten Mal sieht der Bildschirm ähnlich aus, führt aber dann weiter (Tastaturauswahl, einfache...

FD has an updated format command 0.92. I know that this question is extremely late, but can the bug be reproduced with a newer FD version - if possible, could you try the latest version at: https://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/distributions/test/ (actual FDT2408, FDT2409 should come out in 09/2024)? Was it a built-in diskette drive?

Should be solved with FD 1.3 and/or actual FDT versions. I think this ticket can be closed.
No, it doesnt. It works as follows (tested): KEYB TR,857,C:\FREEDOS\BIN\keybrd2.sys /ID:440 (different syntax) see htmlhelp https://www.bootablecd.de/FreeDOS-Internet-version/help110/en/hhstndrd/base/keyb.htm section examples. I think this ticket can be closed.
I feel this is getting much more complicated than it is: Just for info: It is becoming more complicated as FDT2408 says it supports is keyboard, but I noticed that it uses mkeyb which requires the right CTRL (Strg) button - and virtualbox uses this for other purposes. So I will have to run tests on bare metal to see what really happens. This may last a while.
Okay, it is now sure that it is not the debt of FD when VGACopy does not work. I just tested it with two diskettes, one of them booted FD and started vgacopy on pure metal, the second was formatted (1,7 MB) and works fine! It can even be made bootable! If you have a closer look at VGACopy05.png you may see that there were problems with the oversize (marked in yellow) in virtualbox in combination with USB diskette drive. As this ticket is related to VGACopy I think it can be closed.
