Hello!
I have a computer running FreeBSD 4.4, with 256Mb RAM.
I installed bochs-1.2,1.tgz package.
I created a image disk and loaded MSDOS 6.22. No problem
with the installation process.
I get a MS-DOS window and everything start working
but HIMEM.SYS.
It reports:
=================
ERROR: Unable to control A20 line.
XMS Driver not installed.
=================
nevertheless, when I run mem.exe, it reports:
=================
Memory Type Total = Used + Free
---------------- ------- ------- -------
Conventional 639K 84K 555K
Upper 0K 0K 0K
Reserved 0K 0K 0K
Extended (XMS) 31,744K 31,744K 0K
---------------- ------- ------- -------
Total memory 32,383K 31,828K 555K
Total under 1 MB 639K 84K 555K
Largest executable program size 554K (567,776 bytes)
Largest free upper memory block 0K (0 bytes)
==========================
as if my extended memory really exists.
Now, it also happends with Windows 95 and 98 booting discs.
I tried in another computer, it didn't work either [the difference
between them is the X11 version, one of them has the 4.0.2
version].
I also tried compiling the port.
It did not work either, the problem is the same.
Finally I tried in a linux system and it works fine.
Another problem: there are problems if I install Turbo C++ 3.0, the
computer --even thought it is not frozen-- does not respond to the
keyboard. And I say it is a keyboard problem because when I make turbo C
compile a program with the /m option [make] or /b option [build], it
compiles and links.
Could you please help me?
