Due to an end-of-semester project in my operating systems class, I need to run
Minix 1.5 on my PC. Rather than having to reboot whenever I need to work on
it, I thought it would be really cool to run it in the DOS emulator. The
problem is that even the universal boot diskette (which only uses BIOS calls to
access the HW) won't boot in dosemu 0.48; I suspect that all the BIOS calls
that Minix wants aren't there.
Has anyone successfully done this? I don't have a lot of time right now to
hack dosemu (whatever Linux hacking time I have I intend to spend on the Ultra-
Stor 14F/34F driver), but if anyone has any "fast & easy" tips, I would really
appreciate it!
