Hi everybody and thanks for the feedback.
After futher experiments I fixed the problem by changing
mpxplay's buffering mode to that defined by the -bp key. And
then it started to work in the -scs VIA mode.

All right. To your judgement is presented a patch for the metakern

Hope it sounds OK:
The best way to install FreeDOS on a common partition with
