Hi people.
i'm trying to make dosemu run on my PC without any success so far. The point
is I don't know what else to try. Nor can I understand some error messages I
get from the dosemu output.
SW/HW/OS: 486/33, 8M RAM. Linux 0.99pl8 (SLS 0.99?), 2 swap files 10M each.
gcc 233 & libs.
Basically that's what I've done:
- Applied ipcdelta patch (already applied in the SLS distribution).
- Got new kernel.
- Compiled & installed dosemu.
- Made diskimage as the ps doc says.
- Edited /etc/dosemu/config: no HD, floppy according to case below.
a) Boot from /dev/fd0: attempts to read from diskette (a DOS bootable is
in the drive). After clear screen, no more info on it, keyboard is
dead. Linux still sync'ing for a while. Need to reboot.
b) Boot from diskimage. The same.
c) No 'rawkeyboard' entry on config file. After dosemu (C) messg, same
behaviour as before, but now ALT-CTL-DEL reboots the machine.
Never got a prompt on dosemu. What follows are excerpts from
the debug output:

If someone can give me some clues on what's going on, or where to look
at, I'll remember such kindness for ever :-). Email or posting is fine.
Email would be less bandwith waste, though...
