We defer that step until dosemu is running, because FreeDOS format has
the "/a" ("align clusters") switch which we want to use.  I might try
to port that support to mkdosfs someday, but that is not a very high
priority since we plan to run dosemu anyway.

Linux crashed?  That is interesting.  Thank you for testing :-).

If you could catch the exact error message, that might be useful.  But
first...

Unattended 4.0b-rc1 includes the 2.6.4 Linux kernel which might work
better.  Could you please give it a try (from
http://unattended.sourceforge.net/testing/ )?

The other thing you might try is adding "noapic" to the kernel command
line ("append ... noapic" in pxelinux.cfg/default).
