Hi!

Debug versions of kernel.sys produce a lot of technical
messages, which might scroll away before you can type
them over ;-). Dunno whether a debug version of command
com exists, but you can use SHELL=any program, so you
can use something more simple instead of command.com
to see whether that "shell" is loaded correctly at all.

Of course some apps will be confused if you tell them
that they are the command shell, but most should work.

Please describe the parameters again. You can, by the way,
use F8 at boot to go step by step through the boot config
and autoexec files. This helps for finding out where the
freeze happens. You can also use it to skip one or more of
the steps, to see whether that avoids the freeze.

PS: How would you paste text before command.com is loaded?
In dosemu? Possible, but then you can also paste the kernel
nondebug boot messages like the drive list, also useful :-)
