seabios buggy in Buster
I recently tried getting the latest FreeDOS running in qemu. I had a rough
time getting it going, with the drives being rather unreliable,
both C: and the cdrom. Even general reboot behaviour was not consistent.
I tracked it down to seabios, from this post:
https://retrocomputing.stackexchange.com/questions/9367/qemu-emulating-ms-dos-cannot-access-cd-rom
I built the Bullseye seabios package (1.14.0) on Buster, and the problems
went away.
Is this something worthwhile to upgrade on LTS?
Thanks,
- Chris
