Hi.

I made random tests with several OSes I got:
- SkyOS v4.0a seems to boot but fails to  
  recognize IDE drives. It complains that 
  ATA_CMD_PID fails (status 0x41 error 0x4) 
  Then it seems to hang...
- ReactOS is unable to see IDE disk drives.
- QNX v6.21 starts booting but cannot detect 
  hard drives if I ask it to install. It seems to  
  hang after a few seconds when running 
  from CDROM. When I run it in debug mode,
  I got: "Crash[0,0] at nano_allox line 260".
  Who's got the sources :-) ?
  I got another version which crashes while 
  selecting boot options.
- Plan9 asks me where to boot from, and I 
  didn't found the right answer, so I loose...
- OS2 Warp3 install disks seems to wait for 
  another day to run. I can see the OS/2 
  prompt, then nothing...
- Oberon cannot find disks. With old driver, it 
  complains. With the standard ATAPI driver, 
  it crashes (qemu segfault) and I lose my 
  mouse (seems to be a sdl conflict). 
  Fortunately, I get it back if I re-run qemu.
- minix 2.0.4 starts but seems to have 
  problems with the floppy. I'll investigate...
- MenuetOS starts but complains that the 
  CPU isn't what it expects:
  "Fatal - CPU 386+ required."
- memtest86 reports some errors
  in test 5 (bloc move, cached). The 
  addresses seem like random, but it quite 
  always the bit 31 which fails. I can 
  reproduce it.
- ELKS runs but the keyboard is buggy:
  I need to keep playing with <CTRL> to
  have a correct mapping. And it seems
  to detect only 640kb of memory (but it may
  be normal ?).
- DrDOS 7.0.2 runs
- DrDOS 7.0.3 seems to hang when 
  launching HIMEM.SYS (doesnt't refresh the
  screen anymore).
- Atari GEMDOS doesn't run, don't ask
  me why :-)
- All MSDOS variants I got boot
- FreeBSD now boots. In facts, it mounts its
  root partition, then I get no messages. Still 
  some fdc problems...
- OpenDarwin 6.1 complains that it don't 
  recognize the CPU type. Seems to run, but I
  don't have any output after the very first 
  messages.
- NetBSD 1.6.1 still runs.
- OpenBSD 3.4 likes 1.5 GHz PPro !
  but stops while trying to open the console...
  (qemu then don't consume any host CPU).
- Beos:

  I can reproduce this with all the boot
  floppies I got.
  I got another CD which doesn't crash, but
  seems completely hanged...
- AROS seems to have video problems

I must try to run all those OSes under bochs to see how they run. Or I
may be courageous and install a test PC... I know that my BeOS, QNX,
os2, DrDOS and xxxBSD images run on a real PC.

Regards.
