I recently tried getting the latest FreeDOS running in qemu.  I had a rough
time getting it going, with the drives being rather unreliable,
both C: and the cdrom.  Even general reboot behaviour was not consistent.

I tracked it down to seabios, from this post:

https://retrocomputing.stackexchange.com/questions/9367/qemu-emulating-ms-dos-cannot-access-cd-rom

I built the Bullseye seabios package (1.14.0) on Buster, and the problems
went away.

Is this something worthwhile to upgrade on LTS?

Thanks,
- Chris
