Hi Arkady, > As temporary/partial solution, may be used warning in himem about > "non-386" CPU and immediate exiting.
Good idea. Then you can simply do: device=...himem... device=...fdxms286... On a 286, the first will fail and the second should work. On a 386, the first will work and therefore the second will refuse to load. Will show non-elegant error messages but gives a working universal boot disk. Well, almost universal - if you attempt to load XMS drivers on some 8086, then the exe/sys-packer used for HIMEM will cause a crash, but I think that is acceptable as long as the exe/sys packer works okay on all 286+ CPUs (it uses PUSHA, but hopefully no *3*86 specific stuff).
