MODE CON CP PREP=((866) C:\SVARDOS\CPI\EGA3.CPX)
MODE CON CP SELECT=866
This seem to be accepted - at least I see no error messages at boot that would suggest my COUNTRY configuration is invalid and I can see that CP 866 is being loaded properly.
With this configuration, INT 21h/AX=6506h returns a collate table that matches CP437, which leads to very unexpected sorting within DIR outputs.
I would expect the INT 21h/AX=6506h call to fail for unsupported COUNTRY/CODEPAGE combinations, or at least a boot message say that the configured COUNTRY directive is illegal.

This actually matches the behavior of MSDOS, as mentioned in https://github.com/SvarDOS/bugz/issues/68 but perhaps EDRDOS could be smarter about this?
