I want to update the BIOS of my Supermicro X11SSH-F mainboard but FreeDOS isn't able to find a CD-ROM which i made available via IPMI Virtual Media.
Making the FreeDOS 1.0 Live CD as ISO image files available via IPMI Virtual Media works, the initial booting of FreeDOS from the virtual media does also work, but when FreeDOS is trying to load the CD-ROM drivers it fails and falls back to some sort of floppy boot disk which seems to be part of the initial boot instructions of the FreeDOS CD-ROM.
I get the following error message in FreeDOS 1.0:
and in FreeDOS 1.2, which is sadly only an installer but does have CDROM drivers on its floppy boot image, does do something similar:
The Virtual Media provided as ISO file via IPMI seems to not being accessible from DOS, when DOS is bootet.
I also tried to use two devices via IPMI Virtual Media, in each Virtual Media device slot i added one bootable FreeDOS ISO or a combination of bootable FreeDOS Floppy and an ISO as the second device, but this does also not work. FreeDOS can't find the virtual drives anymore when FreeDOS is loaded.
Without getting FreeDOS to load the CD-ROM, i can't update my BIOS via IPMI.
