[Freedos-user] Any interest in 486, 586, 686 kernels?

2013-05-02 Thread Louis Santillan
I hacked the 2041 kernel batch and make files included on the FD 1.1 iso to
allow the kernel to be built by OpenWatcom as 8086, 186, 286, 386, 486,
586, or 686.  The resulting 686 kernel boots fine in VirtualBox 4.2.12 in
OSX 10.8.3 on my 2012 Mac Book Air 13 4GB.  The resulting kernel is a few
bytes smaller compressed by upx than kernel installed by the FD 1.1 iso.
 I'm going to continue testing.  No source changes were made.  Not sure how
the changes affect the nasm built files.

Just because you select pentium level ode on the compiler doesn't necessary
mean that the source code will use 586 opcode Afaik
