I'm a new user of doscmd myself, so I'll defer to those that know better (Ccing -emulation). Don't know about 32-bit. But I asked about graphics mode support a few days ago. Apparently there's some VGA graphics support in the original BSD/OS version when running on the console. According to Mike Smith, it allows you to directly map the VGA hardware if you are running doscmd on the console, but indications were that this hasn't been worked through for FreeBSD yet.

Will doscmd run 32 bit DOS games, like Duke Nukem 3d and Warcraft |II? | |Since trying FreeBSD on a little 486 I threw together from left over |parts, I've become very impressed with it and have put together a new |P5 200MHz machine to run it.
