Hmm, windows likes to change this at random times (my impression). Try
to start in dos-only mode, and use the ps2 utility.

You can change the addresses, my show up as com0.

Does anyone know if it would be possible to boot dos without having to

Is there a good disassembler for dos exe-files? The dos support in
binutils doesn't seem to be very complete.
