I'm trying to make doscmd running on my FreeBSD 3.0 (cvsuped and world made on 
March 20). I've very closely followed the example on the doscmd's manpage. 
I've created minimalisitic /etc/doscmdrc saying:
 
X11_FONT=fixed
assign A: /dev/rfd0.1440 1440
assign A: /dev/rfd0.720 720
assign hard /u/doscmd/disk_c 30
 
I've touched the /u/doscmd/disk_c file and made it world readable and 
writable. I've also created bootable DOS floppy, put it in the floppy drive 
(A) and started doscmd -b -x. I've received (on the terminal I've started the
doscmd) following messages:
 
martin@woody:/u/doscmd# doscmd -x -b
Init: 0
Unknown interrupt 15 function 4101
Unknown interrupt 15 function 87ee
 
Finally the doscmd window came up showing DOS prompt. I've started fdisk from
the floppy, selected 'Create DOS partition ...' and then 'Create Primary DOS 
Partition'. After that fdisk said:
 
No space to create DOS partition
 
There is about 200MB free on the partition i which the /u/doscmd/disk_c file 
resides. I've tried couple more tricks, like zeroing the /u/doscmd file to the 
requested size, vnconfiging it and trying to access it through /dev/rvn0c. 
None of them helped.
 
What I'm doing wrong?
 
Thanks for any hint,
