I made the mistake of switching to FreeDOS EMM386, which is not quite
ready for prime time.  I reverted to UMBPCI for the next release.

In config.sys, change these lines:

  ;; UMB provider
  ;DEVICE=umbpci.sys
  DEVICE=emm386.exe NOEMS

...to read:

  ;; UMB provider
  DEVICE=umbpci.sys
  ;DEVICE=emm386.exe NOEMS

(That is, comment out the "emm386.exe" line and uncomment the
"umbpci.sys" line.)

That should help.  If not, please let me know.
