Subject:   doscmd : getting a DOS PC to run inside a 3.0 machine

Hello,

Having switched to the latest, greatest (3.0 from 2.2-Stable), I was a
bit disappointed not to find the "doscmd" in the /usr/bin directory.

I' ve synched my sources via cvsup and made the world, and doscmd was
still not here :-(

I went in its source directory and made, made install doscmd complained
about not finding vm86 in the kernel (with good reason ...), so I
rebuilt the kernel with
options         "VM86"

but still no joy (doscmd was bombing about a ``vga'' font not found).
after the following patches in "tty.c" :
% diff tty.c*
145c145
< #define       video_pate      BIOSDATA[0x62]
---
> #define       video_pate      BISODATA[0x62]
147c147
< #define       IBMFONT "9x15"          /* font supplied */
---
> #define       IBMFONT "vga"           /* font supplied */
%

doscmd was finally up and running (but not completely satisfactorily : I
can't have accented letters for French)

I've followed instructions in "README.booting_dos" and I've got a DOS PC
in my FreeBSD (it reminds me the days of the Sun386i)

    A happy FreeBSD user

    TfH
