Hi PAP,

I assume unikernel means replacing hardware I/O by
calls to a suitable hypervisor interface? In a way,
DOS already does that by using BIOS. So you could
make a BIOS-Unikernel and then run FreeDOS as app
on that. But how do you deal with the fact that a
DOS kernel and DOS apps will prefer a DOS memory
model with real mode compatible pointers, can the
hypervisor offer such spaces?

Regards, Eric
