running older DOS console programs with bochs or dosbox

[Clark C. Evans]

The newer version of dosbox (.61), which hasn't made ports yet,
seems to be working.  I gave up on trying to get bochs to work
on FreeBSD, has anyone else had luck?  (Specifically the issue
about not being able to load the VGABIOS?)
