Confirmed working on FreeDOS too. A very useful but dangerous option, even for /power/ users - because how do they/we determine the proper amount, absent documentation from the BIOS makers ! There's some peeking at the live XBDA, BIOS code disassembly, and after that guess work and experimentation involved... And should they change their PS2 keyboard for a USB one to-morrow, it may happen that some of those "unused" bytes suddenly cvome alive :=) This is why the XBDA mover I'll distribute won't offer a sizing option, it's fun but too dangerous to be released in the wild. >> (4) The Kernel is confused and corrupts the MCB chain in certain >> circumstances - rather than go on here, I think I'll open a new >> thread for that apparently serious bug. > right. if possible make also a (small) virtual machine to reproduce > the bug Is vmx format (vmware) ok ? -- Czerno ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ See everything from the browser to the database with AppDynamics Get end-to-end visibility with application monitoring from AppDynamics Isolate bottlenecks and diagnose root cause in seconds.
