Some brief notes on booting DOS within plex86.
We need some real instructions to replace this, and
to be put in the docs/ directory.

===================================================

After you follow the instructions in the main README
file, create or use a config file, something like that
in 'user/plex86.conf.dos'.  Change options accordingly.

If you're not using the C drive, use /dev/null for the
image file.

If you want to use a pre-installed FreeDOS, then you can
grab both a boot floppy image and a boot disk image file
that I created:

  ftp://ftp.plex86.org/10M.FreeDOS.gz
  ftp://ftp.plex86.org/1.44_FreeDOS.mini

Unzip the disk image file.  Point appropriate entries in
the config file to these files.

Fire up plex86 with '-f' option, pointing it at your
config file.

  plex86/user-> plex86 -f ../conf/freedos


The FreeDOS web site is:
  http://www.freedos.org/

I've also booted plex86 with a plain DOS 6.22 boot
diskette.
