Actually, I just ran the grub.exe executable that's included from a Dos prompt. I guess it's even meant to be called though a DEVICE= line in config.sys instead. I do have an image file attached, but I wonder whether Dosemu would actually look at the MBR when booting from it. In my experimenting I was just trying to see whether I could run GRUB4DOS through Dos in Dosemu. > I leave further analysis to the real experts, but maybe you > can give more details about which steps brought you to the > crash situation :-) > >> Should I report such things in the bugtracker as well or is this just >> intended behavior? > > Personally, I would say investigate a bit more, wait for > expert feedback, then file it for tracking in some way. I wish I would know a bit more about these things, but I'm not really sure how I could investigate this myself. I see that different $_cpu_emu settings all give the exact same behavior. I hope an expert can at least tell me whether these things below in the bug tracker or whether such a crash is intended. Thanks!
