Robert recently asked me to help figure out an incompatibility where Dos Navigator would be unable to execute programs when run on SvarCOM as the shell. Some details are provided in the bug report. Read on for an overview of how we debugged this.
I created several test cases to figure out how some of the FreeDOS loaders can exhibit memory overlap in some conditions. I uploaded all the files involved (except for the repos, qemu, and NASM) to https://pushbx.org/ecm/test/20240204/

As I had previously mentioned on the FreeDOS FDISK bug tracker on github, I went and combined the EDR-DOS kernel files to create a single-file load experience.
