As SvarDOS uses the FreeDOS kernel, I remember some discussion on the FreeDOS mailing list about the FreeDOS kernel being slower during disk access compared to MS-DOS. IIRC, there were some ideas, but none has been implemented so far, because the kernel being a complex thing. > Once I booted the SVARDOS however, the system crashed the computer, the > moment the command prompt appeared.

Besides what Mateusz already said: Only non-US-English installations of SvarDOS install a keyboard driver in AUTOEXEC.BAT. So, if you installed US-English, but it crashed on boot, then it's not a fault of a keyboard driver.
