Use freeldr, since loadros is hard coded to start reactos from the first
partition on the first hdd.

I have done a dos/win98 boot floppy. (including a boot sector and a
command 
line).
Then I change directory to c:\reactos (called d:\reactos on nt).
And I run a boot.bat script which run loadros.com
However, an INVALID_BOOT_DEVICE crash happen in the first reactos blue
screen 
page...!
