Sorry this is a bug in the latest release. It only shows up if you enable
the BIOS console which is not the default, and is not as good as the direct
console driver. If you give the default answer to all the config questions
you should get a good working kernel.
Attached to the bottom of this message is a patch that will fix the
problem.
There are other issues with using older versions of dev86 caused by
bugs in the optimiser. I recommend getting the latest version.
