I think the main problem will be that uml doesn't implement the x86-specific system calls, like vm86 and modify_ldt. If dos (is this FreeDOS or something?) uses them, then someone needs to implement them (and send me a patch) or persuade me that I need to spend some of my copious free time figuring out what they do and implementing them. If it doesn't need any extra system calls, then just let me know what sorts of things it needs to see in /proc. What exactly are you doing? It's not clear to me how it is useful to run dos under uml... Jeff |
