But wouldn't using the DOS version require the loading and running of a DOS
such as MSDOS or FreeDOS before you can load BL? When you run things in QEMU
there is no software preinstalled before your input file. I would have to
find a way to put BL in with the DOS image so that once the DOS loads and
runs BL could then be started. Thanks.
