That's a bad example I guess... it does indeed run under DOSEMU2 ...
but make DOSEMU2 crash:
ERROR: general protection at 0x7f1952c6d798: 2e while collecting
information.
That is to be expected. As there isn't really a Dell BIOS to update
under DOSEMU, that should be common sense. You are trying to gain write
access to a piece of memory that is simply protected by the OS (and/or
DOSEMU)...
