It looks like you have DMI enabled.  Is that from SeaBIOS?  I turned it in
config.h since it looks emulator specific.  Kevin or Rudolf, do you use it
when you boot XP?

I've been muddling through.  I found that the history command has been
useful to save some typing and frustration when I have typing errors.

The other commands I've used:

resources
execute
namespace
help

It turns out that you can't load multiple tables into acpiexec, which can be
a pain.  I patched the source and replaced one table, then I can load the
other.
