DOSEMU version 0.98.1

- Created hdimage file with mkfatimage16 -k 10240 -f myimage
- edited /etc/dosemuconf so $_hdimage="myimage"
- ran dos -A with DR-DOS 7.03 (current Caldera product)
installation floppy in floppy drive
- installed DR-DOS 7.03 to drive C: (myimage file)
- exiting installation exits dosemu (possible problem #1);
screen shows two lines:" ERROR: DISK: null dp " and 
" ERROR: Sector not found 1! "
- ran dos, boots myimage file as C:
- everything seems to work, but on exiting, the screen shows the
same two error lines.

Note that these error messages also show up if the installation
is aborted instead of completed. They seem to come when booting
DR-DOS from floppy *or* from "hard disk".

The same two errors show up with OpenDOS 7.01 (Caldera's
slightly earlier product). No such errors appear with either IBM
PC-DOS 7.0, or with MS-DOS 6.22/6.20/5.0 (these are the versions
I have to test).

As the errors do not seem to occur with the TinyDOS
hdimage.703.eval file that Caldera has posted for download, I am
puzzled about the differences. The first 128 bytes of the
TinyDOS file look more like the result of mkhdimage than what
comes out of mkfatimage16. There is no documentation for
mkhdimage, though, and I am unable to determine how to use it.
