Anyone wishing to test this, can get a bootdisk from bootdisk.com.

Hello,
I bisected down 2 DOS 6.22 compatibility issues:
1.) COMMAND.COM can not be loaded high, 9c98517c938d20c38f537d516c71b30bb60c3ea0 is the first bad commit Looks like and UMB generated which is not recognizeable ... Before: 9E80-9F7F: 4k EBDA, 9F80-9FFF: 2k UNUSED, really unused or used for option ROMs? After: 9F00-9FFF: 4k EBDA, now the 2k area is somewhere above and will be used by memory managers???
Thanks. Can you post your qemu command line and the SeaBIOS output (-chardev stdio,id=seabios -device isa-debugcon,iobase=0x402,chardev=seabios) from both a working run and the non-working run? Also, can you provide the exact text reported by msdos on success and failure.
2.) 59d6ca52a7eba5b1f4f2becf70fd446dccaf0a2e is the first bad commit Opening a file and closing a file raises a 386 exception
That's odd - nothing in this commit impacts the disk code. Maybe a slightly different memory layout is triggering some other bug.
I have an MSDOS 6.22 floppy image - but I don't see either of these issues. Can you provide the steps needed to reproduce them?
