We have a version of BSDi's DOSCMD up and running, and it can run some simple DOS programs. The code isn't checked in yet, although it's getting to the point where I'm considering checking the kernel side of it. (Er, sorry to spring it on you that way, Jordan ;).) DOSEMU is the next goal; DOSCMD has some advantages over DOSEMU, and vice versa. I've started adding the kernel support DOSEMU needs, although I need someone else to add the I/O permission bitlist support. As always, it's a matter of time on the developers parts. There is a mailing list devoted to OS emulations under FreeBSD, emulation@freebsd.org. To subscribe, do: echo subscribe emulation | mail majordomo@freebsd.org (At least, I think that'll do it ;).)
