Thanks for the URL, I tried editing the disk image and also creating one 
from scratch using mkdiskimage but had no success, the system just hangs 
when trying to boot.

Could you provide me with your exact steps?

Does someone have a working disk image (that loads DOS and is bigger 
than 1.44) they are willing to share ?

Thanks
