I know it’s in first boot order. It also boots first.

Yes, it did that... However I also tried to boot from a floppy and it said/did 
the same. Maybe that's the problem of my system.

Verify the disk boot order settings in VirtualBox have the floppy before the 
CD-ROM. Or, just boot the floppy, then once the installer starts connect the 
CD-ROM.

Try just booting the FD12FLOPPY, then don't connect the CD until you are 
greeted by the installer. Don't use the boot.img on the CD.

Humm, at present only booting the CD under VirtualBox should not immediately 
return to the prompt with a warning message. No other boot media should do 
that. It is possible I pushed the CDs floppy image as FD12FLOPPY, I will have 
to check later.

The installer is identical across all versions. Only the booted FDCONFIG and 
AUTOEXEC vary. The installer only drops out with the message when VirrualBOx is 
detected and it was passed a specific command line option. This only happens 
when the CD is booted.

[Freedos-devel] Bug 157: HELP freezes if language is Spanish

[Jim Hall]

I haven't had time to experiment with this bug yet (I'll have more time
over the weekend). The person reports that HELP freezes under any language
other than English? Has anyone else seen this problem?

Based on the description, I think the problem can be reproduced by changing
the language setting, then running HELP.

I installed FreeDOS 1.2 RC1 on AQEMU (host OS: Ubuntu 16.10 amd64) in
French and after the installation if I type help the system freezes. I was
about to file a bug report about it, but then I saw this ticket and tested
installing FreeDOS 1.2 RC1 in Spanish. The error described in the first
post till occurs.

This looks like a serious bug.

* [bugs:#157]  "help" command
freezes the system when freedos in Spanish is installed (except using xmgr
xms memory dirver) in VirtualBox latest version*

When installing FreeDos in spanish and using the "help" command it works
well in English, but in spanish installation, the system freezes when using
all memory drivers excep xmgr xms (the 3rd option when bootin).
When using the last option VirtualBox directly gives an error and the
instance of the machine closes.
