: Hello,

: I've tried to run dosemu ( right out off the box) with
: # dos

: with a bootable/system DOS diskette and it gives me the following
:  
: ERROR: can't get floppy parameter of /dev/fd0 (Interrupted system call)
: error exit: (5,0x0005) in_sigsegv: 0 ignore_segv: 0
: Not a good day to die!!!!!

: Version information: from RedHat Picasso release of April 96,

dosemu0.60 and Linux 2.0.x are incompatible. Get a newer dosemu from
tsx-11.mit.edu and its mirrors: pub/linux/ALPHA/dosemu/Development

I'm afraid you need a more recent dosemu.  Try sunsite or mirror
(/pub/linux/alpha).

1. DOSEMU at bootup question (dosemu newbie?)

Hello Everyone:

I'm trying to setup DOSEMU to automatically start a dos session and kick off front door in that dos session at bootup.  I have everything working except the bootup part.  I start the dos session with "dos -C -d" this works fine if I do it after I login as root, it binds to tty7 and I can interact with dosemu just fine.  But when it loads a bootup, I can not get it to bind to tty7 (so I can use front door or access the underlying BBS software).  It does start and run, frontdoor answers the phone etc.  I jus
t don't have any way to interact with the frontdoor mailer.

iThe real funny thing about this is that the first time I installed this everyting worked fine.  I suffered a complete disk failure and reinstalled everything and now I can not get it to work.

I'm running RH5.0, dosemu from RH5.0 distribtion, cyrix 200 cpu with all patches for the cyrix applied.

Any suggestions?  I've pulled out about 5 poiunds of hair so far...

Munch thanks,
