I see, so kvm doesn't work for me. I installed the kqemu module, but
still no difference. Maybe 16-bit real mode is the problem? Although the
djgpp tools actually switch to 16-bit protected mode I think..
About virtualbox, I couldn't figure out how to mount my HD image in it.
It's simply a file I mounted as loop device, then ran fdisk and
mkfs.msdos on it. And qemu boots from it without problems - so now I'd
need a way to boot vbox from it, but it only lets me select "vdi" files
and so on, no device or normal block file.. any ideas?
