I'm continuing this in public so I don't have to address everyone.

*Kernel:
DOS=LOW,UMB does *NOT* work (everything goes low, and SHELLHIGH does not function.
UMBs are only made available when DOS=HIGH is found, somehow.
same might go for FILES= for example.

*Kernel:
see Bugzilla entries. just as trivial (enhancement-level) as above mentioned bug.
will definately not go into 2034.

*Kernel:
Detect unformatted partition (like just having run FDISK).
Bart might have a solution for this, but I still have to try.
Reproduction process:
*Make primary partition
*Download Eric Auer's tool called WHICHFAT (www.auersoft.org)
*Boot desired kernel
*WHICHFAT C:
*ECHO %ERRORLEVEL%
on MSDOS this delivers "1", on FreeDOS "12" (FAT12)where it should be 1

I'll report back on this, but it might cause a problem with Format,
at least that's what Bart said.

EMM386:
FDISK /REBOOT causes Invalid Opcode,
FDAPM WARMBOOT does the same
FDAPM COLDBOOT does reset the computer
FDAPM HOTBOOT works like good old QEMM: reboot to bootsequence immediately.
(not that it has that great effect, but OK..)

anything that can be done about it?
don't know if the mentioned applications need to change, or EMM386, to accept 
warmboots.
I'll check against MS EMM386.
