To : make it clear: I'm NOT talking about "memory managers" running : already, having scrambled descriptor tables or enabling i386 : features (like virtual mode or special CPU's management : features). OLDER DOS versions can be trusted to not remap INT vectors, but newer versions do. When you remap the vectors and try to then boot FreeBSD you'll find that the vectors now point to arbitrary locations which tend to do bad things when this interrupt is called.
