interface for callbacks to doscmd from DOS, obsoleting the instbsdi redirector. (redir.com replaces it) A temporary hack is in place so the instbsdi program will (hopefully) work in the short term. Submitted by: Helmut F. Wirth <hfwirth@ping.at>

.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Nm Doscmd
|
|
can either emulate a subset of DOS and run the
|
|
single command
|
|
.Ar cmd
|
|
.Ar args ,
|
|
or it can be used to emulate a PC and boot DOS,
|
|
which allows it to run a larger variety of DOS applications.
|
|
It should be noted that MS DOS 6.2 and higher appear
|
|
to cause difficulties for
|
|
.Nm doscmd.
|
|
To boot DOS, either provide the
|
|
.Fl b
|
|
flag or omit the
|
|
.Ar cmd
|
|
argument.
|
|
If
|
|
.Fl b
|
|
is specified,
|
|
.Ar cmd
|
|
and
|
|
.Ar args
|
|
are ignored.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Although
|
|
.Nm doscmd
|
|
only provides a subset of DOS, it is sufficient to run a variety of
|
|
programs, including, but not limited to, compilers, assemblers and
|
|
linker-loaders.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The various flags available to
|
|
.Nm doscmd
|
|
are:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Fl 2
|
|
Enable debugging traces of every trap to the
|
|
.Nm doscmd
|
|
emulator from the DOS program.
|
|
Note that some traps are handled in the kernel and hence will not
|
|
be traced.
|
|
.It Fl 3
|
|
Enable debugging of several lower level functions, such
|
|
as changing of interrupt vectors and initializing paths to logical drives.
|
|
.\"
|
|
.\"
|
|
.\"
|
|
.It Fl A
|
|
Enable tracing of all interrupts that pass into the emulator.
|
|
This is the same as using the

Cause

Very little use except for developing

.Nm doscmd .
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
When starting up,
|
|
.Nm doscmd
|
|
attempts to read a configuration file. First the file
|
|
.Cm .doscmdrc
|
|
in the current directory. If not found there, the
|
|
.Cm $HOME
|
|
directory is searched. If still not found, the file
|
|
.Cm /etc/doscmdrc
|
|
is used.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
In the configuration file, a comment is started with the \fB#\fP character.
|
|
Blank lines are ignored.
|
|
Non empty lines either are environment variables
|
|
or commands which configure devices.
|
|
Any line which has an \fB=\fP before any white space is considered to be
|
|
an environment variable assignment and is added to the DOS environment.
|
|
The rest of the lines are one the of the following

A disk's geometry can either be directly specified with

the number of heads and

(see below).
|
|
The option
|
|
.Ar fdisk_tab
|
|
argument specifies file to use as the first sector
|
|
of this disk. This can be useful for inserting a
|

false fdisk table when

only refers to part of a disk.

|

.It Cm "setver command version"
|
|
Cause doscmd, when emulating DOS, to report
|
|
.Cm version
|
|
as the version number of DOS when called from the program named
|
|
.Cm command .
|
|
The format of
|
|
.Cm version
|
|
is the same as of the
|
|
.Cm MS_VERSION
|
|
variable described below.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If not already assigned,
|
|
.Cm C:
|
|
will be assigned to the root directory (/) and the current directory
|
|
for
|
|
.Cm C:
|
|
will be set the the actual current directory.
|
|
Note that this means that invocations such as:
|
|
.sp
|
|
doscmd ../foo
|
|
.sp
|
|
will not work as the
|
|
.Cm C:
|
|
directory will start with the current path.
|
|
Also, the following environment variables will be defined if not
|
|
already defined:
|
|
|
|
.nf
|
|
.Cm "COMSPEC=C:\eCOMMAND.COM
|
|
.Cm "PATH=C:\e
|
|
.Cm "PROMPT=DOS>
|
|
.fi
|
|
|
|
The
|
|
.Cm PATH
|
|
variable is also used to find
|
|
.Ar cmd .
|
|
Like DOS, first
|
|
.Ar cmd.com
|
|
will be looked for and then
|
|
.Ar cmd.exe .
|
|
.Sh "CONFIGURATION VARIABLES"
|
|
.Pp
|
|
There are several variables in the
|
|
.Cm .doscmdrc
|
|
file which are internal to doscmd and do not actually get inserted into
|
|
the DOS environment. These are:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width MS_VERSION
|
|
.It Cm MS_VERSION
|
|
The value of this variable is used to determine the version of DOS that
|
|
should be reported by
|
|
.Nm doscmd .
|
|
Note that
|
|
.Nm doscmd
|
|
will not change the way
|
|
it works, just the way it reports. By default this value is
|
|
.Cm 410 ,
|
|
which corresponds to
|
|
.Nm "MS DOS
|
|
version
|
|
.Nm 4.1 .
|
|
To change it to version 3.2 (the default in previous versions of
|
|
.Nm doscmd )
|
|
use the value of
|
|
.Cm 320 .
|
|
.El
|
|
.Sh FILE TRANSLATION
|
|
.Nm Doscmd
|
|
translates
|
|
.Nm BSD/OS
|
|
file names into
|
|
.Nm DOS
|
|
file names by converting to all upper case and eliminating any invalid
|
|
character. It does not make any attempt to convert ASCII files into
|
|
the
|
|
.Cm <CR><LF>
|
|
format favored in the DOS world. Use the program
|
|
.Xr bsd2dos 1
|
|
to convert ASCII files.

.Sh INSTALLING DOS ON A PSEUDO DISK
|
|
.Pp
|
|
To install DOS on a pseudo hard disk under doscmd, do the following:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width XXXX
|
|
.It 1
|
|
Create a
|
|
.Pa .doscmdrc
|
|
with at least the following:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
assign A: /dev/rfd0_1440_3.5 1440
|
|
assign A: /dev/rfd0_720_3.5 720
|
|
assign hard boot_drive 80 2 2
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
You may need to adjust the raw files for the A: drive to match
|
|
your system. This example will cause the HD drive to be tried
|
|
first and the DD drive second.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Note that you should only use raw devices or files at this point,
|
|
do not use a cooked device! (Well, it would probably be okay
|
|
for a hard disk, but certainly not the floppy)
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Li boot_drive
|
|
should be the file name of where you want your bootable
|
|
image to be. The three numbers which follow
|
|
.Li 80 2 2
|
|
say that the drive will have 80 cylinders, 2 heads and 2 sectors per track.
|
|
This is the smallest drive possible which still can have MS DOS
|
|
5.0 installed on it along with a
|
|
.Pa config.sys
|
|
and
|
|
.Pa autoexec.bat
|
|
file.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
You might want to create a larger boot drive.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The file
|
|
.Pa boot_drive
|
|
must exist, so use the command touch to create it.
|
|
.It 2
|
|
Insert a floppy disk into the A: drive which is bootable to MS-DOS
|
|
and has the commands fdisk, format and sys on it. You should also
|
|
copy the file redir.com onto the floppy by either mounting it
|
|
with the msdos file system type or by using mtools
|
|
(e.g.,
|
|
.Li mwrite redir.com a: ).
|
|
.It 3
|
|
run doscmd.
|
|
.It 4
|
|
At the > prompt type
|
|
.Li fdisk .
|
|
.It 5
|
|
Select
|
|
.Li Create DOS partition or Logical Drive .
|
|
.It 6
|
|
Select
|
|
.Li Create Primary DOS Partition .
|
|
.It 7
|
|
Tell it how big to make it
|
|
(Typically the whole drive. It is pretty tiny after all.)
|
|
.It 8
|
|
Get out of FDISK by hitting
|
|
.Li <ESC>
|
|
a few times.
|
|
.It 9
|
|
doscmd may abort, if it does, start up doscmd again.
|
|
.It 10
|
|
At the > prompt, type
|
|
.Li format c:
|
|
and follow the instructions.
|
|
.It 11
|
|
At the > prompt type
|
|
.Li sys c: .
|
|
.It 12
|
|
Get out of doscmd.
|
|
.It 13
|
|
Either remove the floppy from the drive or add the line
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
boot C:
|
|
.Ed
|
|
to your
|
|
.Pa .doscmdrc .
|
|
.It 14
|
|
You should now be running DOS off of your new disk. You will
|
|
probably want both config.sys and an autoexec.bat file. To
|
|
start with, you can say:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
> copy con: config.sys
|
|
LASTDRIVE=Z
|
|
^Z
|
|
> copy con: autoexec.bat
|
|
@echo off
|
|
redir.com
|
|
^Z
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.It 15
|
|
Quit doscmd.
|
|
.It 16
|
|
You know have a bootable pseudo disk which will automatically call
|
|
the magic
|
|
.Li redir
|
|
program, which installs FreeBSD disks. To use
|
|
them add lines to your .doscmdrc such as:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
assign D: /usr/dos
|
|
assign P: -ro /usr/prb
|
|
.Ed
|
|
Not that you will not always be able to access every file due to
|
|
naming problems.

.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If
|
|
.Nm doscmd
|
|
encounters an interrupt which is unimplemented, it will print a message
|
|
such as:
|
|
.sp
|
|
Unknown interrupt 21 function 99
|
|
.sp
|
|
and exit.
